Description

From @arthurhjorth:

An idea for a primitive that would be incredibly helpful: often we have many components, and writing the NetLogo code for finding the component that contains a particular node is tedious. (Or at least the ways I've written it have been.) Would it be possible to write a primitive that accepts a turtle and returns an agentset containing all other turtles that that turtle is connected to?

  • Something like:
    nw:component-containing [turtle], returns all turtles in that component in the current context
  • Again, from turtle perspective:
    (turtle) nw:my-component, returns all turtles in caller's component in the current context
  • Similar for links:
    nw:links-in-component-containing [turtle1]
  • and
    (turtles) nw:links-in-my-component
