Looking Under the Hood

Welcome to the Open NetLogo Wiki

Hosted by turtleZERO

A wiki is software that allows users to easily create, edit, and link pages together. It is a collaborative web site. Read more about wikis here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

If you'd like to contribute to this project, just use the search box (at top, right) to look for a page to edit, and go to it! If the page doesn't exist, you can create it. No registration is currently required. The wiki markup syntax makes it easy to create rich documents in the wiki.

Main Contents:

What is NetLogo?

Primitives Dictionary – the big list of all NetLogo primitives

Code Optimization – the big list of code optimization ideas to speed up your model.

The NetLogo Wiki FAQ

Programming Guides

Code Samples

Applet Setup Guide

  • Re: How to make shape changes dynamically? by Jim Lyons (2008/10/06 08:13)
    Qiang, Rectangles can be made to change dynamically. The trick is to use a line for the shape and vary its size -- the length of the rectangle -- and thickness

    Thank you very much Eric. The problem was solved. Regards, Martin
  • Re: GIS extension by Eric Russell (2008/10/05 15:20)
    It looks like the bug was fixed in late August, several weeks after the release of NetLogo 4.0.3. I've attached a copy of gis.jar with the fix included. Copy

To Do

Please feel free to adopt and work on or add to any of these items.

  1. Primitives Dictionary cleanup and enhancement
    1. primitives start page list fixes, additions
    2. primitives list / section cleanup
    3. primitives descriptions, add details, etc.
    4. cross reference primitives
    5. tag descriptions, tag-based indexes?
  2. netlogo applet embedding plugin
  3. netlogo syntax coloring plugin
  4. if you've made a useful post to netlogo-users and want to include it in the wiki, please do!!
  5. what else?

WishList

Please list here articles/topics you'd like to see discussed.

  1. using common data structures in netlogo, e.g. linked lists, stacks, queues, etc.
  2. - especially, doing the above using turtles
  3. using turtles to implement a database done see turtle_based_database_example_1
  4. a selection of mouse-driven input methods, perhaps showing a progression from most simple to most featureful.
  5. a page on the differences between “regular” trigonometry and NetLogo trig. in progress see trigonometry

Two Words About Namespaces

The content in the wiki are divided into “namespaces”. Namespaces are analagous to folders and sub-folders. When adding links to topics in a namespace, you'll need to include the namespace too.

The default namespace (without any specific namespace reference) is for general topics, such as the F.A.Q, and topics that contain indexes of other topics.

prim: the prim: namespace contains topics relating to netlogo primitives. So, the prim:turtles page is about the turtles primitive.

gloss the gloss: namespace contains definitions of NetLogo related terms. So, the gloss:turtles page would define what turtles are, in NetLogo.

guide: the guide: namespace contains topics relating to programming guides. So, the guide:turtles page might discuss the subtleties of working with turtles in NetLogo.

code: the code: namespace contains topics that are primarily code samples, like turtle_based_database_example_1

wiki: the wiki: namespace contains topics about the wiki software itself, such as the syntax guide.
