This class has the following properties:

id: A property of type integer or float or logical or string or string or integer. It is of length one (a singleton). This property is a constant, so it is not modifiable. Property Description: The identifier for this interaction type; for interaction type i3, for example, this is 3.
maxDistance: A property of type integer or float or logical or string or string or integer. It is of length one (a singleton). This property is a variable, so it is modifiable. Property Description: The maximum distance over which this interaction will be evaluated. For inter-individual distances greater than maxDistance, the interaction strength will be zero.
reciprocal: A property of type integer or float or logical or string or string or integer. It is of length one (a singleton). This property is a constant, so it is not modifiable. Property Description: The reciprocality of the interaction, as specified in initializeInteractionType(). This will be T for reciprocal interactions (those for which the interaction strength of B upon A is equal to the interaction strength of A upon B), and F otherwise.
sexSegregation: A property of type integer or float or logical or string or string or integer. It is of length one (a singleton). This property is a constant, so it is not modifiable. Property Description: The sex- segregation of the interaction, as specified in initializeInteractionType(). For nonsexual simulations, this will be "**". For sexual simulations, this string value indicates the sex of individuals feeling the interaction, and the sex of individuals exerting the interaction; see initializeInteractionType() for details.
spatiality: A property of type integer or float or logical or string or string or integer. It is of length one (a singleton). This property is a constant, so it is not modifiable. Property Description: The spatial dimensions used by the interaction, as specified in initializeInteractionType(). This will be "" (the empty string) for non-spatial interactions, or "x", "y", "z", "xy", "xz", "yz", or "xyz", for interactions using those spatial dimensions respectively. The specified dimensions are used to calculate the distances between individuals for this interaction. The value of this property is always the same as the value given to initializeInteractionType().
tag: A property of type integer or float or logical or string or string or integer. It is of length one (a singleton). This property is a variable, so it is modifiable. Property Description: A user-defined integer value. The value of tag is initially undefined, and it is an error to try to read it; if you wish it to have a defined value, you must arrange that yourself by explicitly setting its value prior to using it elsewhere in your code. The value of tag is not used by SLiM; it is free for you to use. See also the getValue() and setValue() methods, for another way of attaching state to interaction types.
