Arguments

object

An object of class Arena.

specI

An object of class Organism.

amount

A numeric number giving the number of individuals to add.

x

A numeric vector giving the x positions of individuals on the grid.

y

A numeric vector giving the y positions of individuals on the grid.

posmat

A As an alternative to parameter x, y, a matrix with corrdinates an be specified

biomass

A numeric vector giving the starting biomass of the individuals. (unit: fg)

n0

Start column of matrix to take free positions from (default 1)

n

End column of matrix to take free positions from (default arena@m)

m0

Start row of matrix to take free positions from (default 1)

m

End row of matrix to take free positions from (default arena@n)

Details

The arguments x and y should be in the same length as the number of organisms added (given by the argument amount).
