GARP is a computer program for predicting species locations based on various
spatial data sets of environment variables and known species locations.
GARP is an acronym for Genetic Algorithm for Rule Set Production. GARP was
originally ceated by David Stockwell. The version in Kepler is based on
'Desktop GARP', http://www.lifemapper.org/desktopgarp/.
The GarpPrediction actor predicts presence/absence data on a spatial grid
based on the input RuleSet (calculated by the GarpAlgorithm actor) and the
input set of environmental layers. The input layers are described in a summary xml
file (*.dxl). The outputs are either an *.asc grid file or a *.bmp file. Either
can be displayed as a bitmapped image with predicted presence/absence indicated
by pixel values (e.g. color mapped when displayed).
This is a JNI-based actor. It requires the following:
linux: libgarp.so
windows: garp.dll, libexpat.dll
MacOSX - currently not available for the Mac (3/16/2006)

Version:
ruleSetFilename
This is the file name of the file containing the RuleSet data. It is usually
the output of a GarpAlgorithm actor.
layersetFilename
This is the file name of the *.dxl file used to summarize the set of
spatial data files with environmental data for each pixel.
outputASCII
This is the file name to be used for the output ASCII grid file.
outputBMP
This is the file name to be used for the output BMP raster file.
outputASCIIFileName
This is the file name of the output ASCII grid file. This port fires when
the output predicted distribution grid has been created
outputBMPFileName
This is the file name of the output BMP raster file. This port fires when
the output predicted distribution grid has been created. It contains the same
information as the ASCII output port but in a more easily displayed raster format.
ruleSetFilenameParameter
This is the file name of the file containing the RuleSet data. It is usually
the output of a GarpAlgorithm actor.
layersetFilenameParameter
This is the file name of the *.dxl file used to summarize the set of
spatial data files with environmental data for each pixel.
outputASCIIParameter
This is the file name to be used for the output ASCII grid file.
outputBMPParameter
This is the file name to be used for the output BMP raster file.
