Step 6. Executing FRAGSTATS

Now you are finally ready to execute FRAGSTATS. By selecting the Execute option in the Fragstats drop-down menu on the opening window, or clicking on the Execute button on the Tool bar, the program is off and running. An “execution finished” message appears when the processing is complete. Note, a progress indicator on the Status bar displays the progress of the run. For a single landscape Input File Type, a green progress bar is displayed. For a batch Input File Type, a message is displayed that indicates the record number (i.e., input landscape) being processed.
