Hey guys Seems like I am getting some stuff to work and getting an overview of Tortoise in general. I have on more question however:
How do I specify a canvas for the engine to draw on? Do you have some code from Galapagos or an other source showing this? //Daniel On Thursday, 4 July 2019 14:14:21 UTC+2, Daniel Graungaard wrote: > > Hello Jason and Jeremy > > Thanks so much for your very helpful and detailed replies! > > Very useful to get an overview of the architecture and pointers to both > Galapagos and Tortoise. > > I'm currently playing a bit more around and making slow progress in my > project. > > //Daniel > > On Wednesday, 3 July 2019 15:37:34 UTC+2, Jason Bertsche wrote: >> >> Your `nlogo` variable needs to contain the string form of a valid NetLogo >> model file (i.e. a '.nlogo' file).
