Move to

Description

Move the turtles to the agents' locations.

Usage

moveTo(turtles, agents)

## S4 method for signature 'agentMatrix,matrix'
moveTo(turtles, agents)

Arguments

turtles	AgentMatrix object representing the moving agents.
agents	Matrix (ncol = 2) with the first column pxcor and the second column pycor representing the patches coordinates, or `AgentMatrix` object representing the moving `agents`.

Details

The number of agents must be equal to 1 or to length turtles.

     The `turtle`'s `headings` are not affected with this function.

     If a `turtle` is moving to a `patch` location, it will be located at
     the `patch` center.

Value

AgentMatrix representing the turtles with updated coordinates and updated data for their previous coordinates prevX and prevY.

Examples

w1 <- createWorld(
  minPxcor = 0, maxPxcor = 9, minPycor = 0, maxPycor = 9,
  data = runif(100)
)
t1 <- createTurtles(n = 5, coords = randomXYcor(w1, n = 5))
plot(w1)
points(t1, col = "black", pch = 16)

t1 <- moveTo(turtles = t1, agents = turtle(t1, who = 0))
points(t1, col = "red", pch = 16)

t1 <- moveTo(turtles = t1, agents = patch(w1, 9, 9))
points(t1, col = "blue", pch = 16)
