+===== Check parameter "impact" =====
+In order to simulate how these parameters could impact the resulting tree (not only from a 3d view perspective) we can compute a simple descriptor: the total volume of the buds with the method:
+<code java>
+public void compute_vol() {
+	double s = sum( (*Sphere*).getVolume() );
+	println("Total volume of buds: " + s);
+}
+public void complete(){
+	for (applyUntilFinished()){
+		run();
+	}
+	compute_vol();
+}
+</code>
+===== Save parameters in file =====
+Let's save the current set of parameter values in a file. In the parameter manager editor click on "save parameters". It will automatically create a parameter file and store the parameter in.
+===== Command line & headless =====
+Now we can also set up the project to be run-able in headless and modify parameters from outside of GroIMP, with either:
+  * Command lines args: to give parameter value, or a parameter file to use
+  * Modify the parameter file in the project
+Add the following to setup the headless to run the ''complete'' method from above and to load the parameter's value from the file:
+<code java>
+protected void startup()
+{
+	super.startup();
+	if (de.grogra.pf.boot.Main.getProperty("headless") != null)
+	{
+		runLater(null);
+	}
+}
+protected void run(Object info)
+{
+	loadPMs();
+	complete();
+	System.exit(0);
+}
+</code>
+Now run the project in headless with:
+<code>
+java -jar core.jar --headless Model.gsz
+</code>
+This will print in the terminal the output value of ''compute_vol''. E.g. ''Total volume of buds: 2.78392774842903
+''
+==== Command line arg ====
+Let's change some parameter value for the run:
+<code>
+java -jar core.jar -PModel.ageLimit=15 -PModel.aging=1  -PModel.initialLength=1 -PModel.budType=1 --headless Model.gsz
+</code>
+This should display in the terminal: ''Total volume of buds: 0.07469535004252173''.
+==== Change the parameter file ====
+It is also possible to simply change the content of the parameter file by simply opening the file and changing its content.
+The file is called ''parameter_files/default-parameter-manager.parameters''. By setting its content to:
+<code>
+Model.budType=0
+Model.ageLimit=7
+Model.initialLength=0.5
+Model.aging=0
+</code>
+And running in headless again: ''java -jar core.jar --headless Model.gsz''
+I get the value: ''Total volume of buds: 2.592734549068271''
+====== QSM Project ======
+Now let's see how these parameters can be fit into a bigger project, the [[:todo|QSM project example]]
