'comCompete' returns a graph with the proportion of patches\noccupied in time by each species and the trade-off scale, the superior\ncompetitor in one side and the superior colonizator in the other.

","details":"

In the system, the competitive abilities are inversely proportional to the\ncolonization abilities.

The number of patches in the simulated landscape is defined by rw*cl.
