PGACreate(8)							      PGAPack							      PGACreate(8)

NAME

       PGACreate - creates an uninitialized context variable.  The Fortran version of this function call contains only the last three arguments

INPUT PARAMETERS

       argc   - address of the count of the number of command line arguments.
       argv   - array of command line arguments.
       datatype
	      -  the  data  type  used	for  the  strings.   Must  be  one  of	PGA_DATATYPE_BINARY, PGA_DATATYPE_CHARACTER, PGA_DATATYPE_INTEGER,
	      PGA_DATATYPE_REAL, or PGA_DATATYPE_USER
       binary -valued, character-valued, integer-valued,
       real   -valued, or a user-defined datatype, respectively.
       len    - the string length (number of genes).
       maxormin
	      - the direction of optimization. Must be one of PGA_MAXIMIZE or PGA_MINIMIZE for maximization or minimization, respectively.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       none

SYNOPSIS

       #include "pgapack.h"
       PGAContext * PGACreate(argc, argv, datatype, len, maxormin)
       int *argc
       char **argv
       int datatype
       int len

EXAMPLE

       Example:

       In C:
       void main(int argc, char **argv) {
       PGAContext *ctx;
       :
       ctx = PGACreate(&argc, argv, PGA_DATATYPE_BINARY, 100, PGA_MAXIMIZE);
       :
       //  Set options here
       :
       PGASetUp(ctx);
       :
       //  Run the GA here
       :
       PGADestroy(ctx);
       }

       In FORTRAN:
       integer ctx
       :
       ctx = PGACreate(PGA_DATATYPE_BINARY, 100, PGA_MAXIMIZE)
       :
       c       Set options here
       :
       call PGASetUp(ctx)
       :
       c       Run the GA here
       :
       call PGADestroy(ctx)
       stop
       end
