agentMatrix: Create a new 'agentMatrix' object

In NetLogoR: Build and Run Spatially Explicit Agent-Based Models

Create a new agentMatrix object

Description

This is a fast alternative to the SpatialPointsDataFrame. It is meant to replace that functionality, though there are not as many methods (yet). The object is primarily a numeric matrix. Any character column passed to ... will be converted to a numeric, using as.factor internally, and stored as a numeric. Methods using this class will automatically convert character queries to the correct numeric alternative.

Usage

agentMatrix(..., coords)

## S4 method for signature 'matrix'
agentMatrix(..., coords)

## S4 method for signature 'missing'
agentMatrix(..., coords)

Arguments

...	Vectors, a data.frame, or a matrix of extra columns to add to the coordinates, or a SpatialPointsDataFrame.
coords	A matrix with 2 columns representing x and y coordinates

Value

An agentMatrix object

Examples

newAgent <- agentMatrix(
      coords = cbind(pxcor = c(1, 2, 5), pycor = c(3, 4, 6)),
      char = letters[c(1, 2, 6)],
      nums2 = c(4.5, 2.6, 2343),
      char2 = LETTERS[c(4, 24, 3)],
      nums = 5:7)

w1 <- createWorld(minPxcor = 0, maxPxcor = 4, minPycor = 0, maxPycor = 4,
                          data = runif(25))
t1 <- createTurtles(n = 10, coords = randomXYcor(w1, n = 10))
