Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Plant draw fruits group

S curve - effect of fruit age on fruit optimal biomass: Fraction of final optimal (best) fruit biomass (Y) for a given fruit age (X). Fruits tend to grow in an s- curve fashion, so simulated fruit demands for biomass from the plant attempt to follow this curve.

Fruit days to ripen once full-sized: The number of days it takes for a fruit on this plant to ripen once it has stopped expanding. This is only for drawing (it has a different color when it is ripe) and does not affect the model.

Fruit maximum days for flower to create: The number of days a flower will accumulate biomass towards creation of a fruit before it gives up and creates a smaller fruit. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer meristems.

Fruit maximum days to grow: The number of days a fruit will accumulate biomass towards maturity before it gives up and stops growing. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer meristems.

Fruit minimum days to grow: The shortest number of days in which a fruit can grow to maturity, no matter how much biomass is available. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Fruit number of section 3D objects: The number of sections on a fruit.

Fruit optimum biomass: The biomass (dry weight) of a complete or best fruit.

Fruit ripe section back face color: The back face (facing out) color for sections of a ripe fruit.

Fruit ripe section front face color: The front face (facing in) color for sections of a ripe fruit.

Fruit section 3D object: The 3D object used to draw fruit sections. Fruit sections do not simulate real objects; they just make it easier to draw roughly spherical fruits.

Fruit section 3D object scale at full size: The scale for the 3D object used to draw fruit sections when they are full-sized.

Fruit sections are radially arranged: If 'yes' the 3D objects used to draw sections of a fruit are drawn rotated at different angles to make them form a circle around the stem. If 'no' they are all drawn at the same angle (and usually there is only one oddly-shaped 3D object).

Fruit stalk strength index: This parameter is not used in this version of the simulation.

Fruit unripe section back face color: The back face (facing out) color for sections of an unripe fruit.

Fruit unripe section front face color: The front face (facing in) color for sections of an unripe fruit.
