Create a world

Description

Create a world of patches of class worldMatrix.

Usage

createWorld(minPxcor, maxPxcor, minPycor, maxPycor, data = NA)

## S4 method for signature 'numeric,numeric,numeric,numeric,ANY'
createWorld(minPxcor, maxPxcor, minPycor, maxPycor, data = NA)

## S4 method for signature 'missing,missing,missing,missing,missing'
createWorld()

Arguments

minPxcor	Integer. Minimum pxcor for the patches (world's left border).
maxPxcor	Integer. Maximum pxcor for the patches (world's right border).
minPycor	Integer. Minimum pycor for the patches (world's bottom border).
maxPycor	Integer. Maximum pycor for the patches (world's top border).
data	Vector of length 1 or length (maxPxcor - minPxcor + 1) * (maxPycor - minPycor + 1). Default is NA.

Details

If data is provided, values are assigned by rows.

     If no parameters value are provided, default values are:
     `minPxcor = -16`,
     `maxPxcor = 16`, `minPycor = -16`, and `maxPycor = 16`.

     See `help("worldMatrix-class")` for more details on the `worldMatrix` class.

Value

WorldMatrix object composed of (maxPxcor - minPxcor + 1) * (maxPycor - minPycor + 1) patches (i.e., matrix cells).
