%main - The interface of PlatEMO
%
%   main() runs the GUI of PlatEMO.
%
%   main('-Name',Value,'-Name',Value,...) runs one algorithm on a problem
%   with the specified parameter setting.
%
% All the acceptable properties:
%   '-N'            <positive integer>  population size
%   '-M'            <positive integer>  number of objectives
%   '-D'            <positive integer>  number of variables
%	'-evaluation'   <positive integer>  maximum number of evaluations
%	'-algorithm'    <function handle>   algorithm function
%	'-problem'      <function handle>   problem function
%	'-operator'     <function handle>   operator function
%   '-mode'         <positive integer>  run mode (1.show result 2.save result 3.run outputFcn)
%   '-run'          <positive integer>  run No.
%   '-outputFcn'	<function handle>   function invoked after each generation when mode = 3
%	'-X_parameter'  <cell>              the parameter values of function X
%
%   Example:
%       main()
%       main('-algorithm',@NSGAII,'-problem',@DTLZ2,'-N',100,'-M',2)
