Description

Using the sample model from issue #11, update it to extract the view2.5d turtle view setup like below, to be able to call it stand-alone:

to setup-turtle-view
  ; Set up a Turtle view
  view2.5d:turtle-view "Turtle View 1" turtles [ the-turtle -> [.2 * abs xcor] of the-turtle ]
  wait 1
  view2.5d:set-observer-distance "Turtle View 1" 40

  view2.5d:set-z-scale "Turtle View 1" 2
  view2.5d:set-observer-angles "Turtle View 1" 25 30
  ;; increase the stem thickness
  view2.5d:set-turtle-stem-thickness "Turtle View 1" .2
  view2.5d:update-turtle-view "Turtle View 1" turtles
end

I then could produce an exception reliably with these steps:

  • I ran setup then create-arrow and confirmed things looked good in both views.
  • I went into the shapes editor and deleted the arrow shape and things updated in both views.
  • I closed the turtle view.
  • I ran setup-turtle-view in the command center, and got the below exception.

Interestingly, the shape delete is necessary to reproduce the error. Just closing the turtle view isn't enough to trigger it, if you re-run the setup-turtle-view without deleting the shape it'll complete just fine. This error was found with the PR for issue #11 merged, as well as with the bundled version in NetLogo 6.2.0.

Research direction

Start with view25d.view.gl.TurtleGL.display at TurtleGL.java:154 and reproduce the sequence in the issue: delete the arrow shape, close the turtle view, then run setup-turtle-view. Trace how the deleted shape and closed view are handled during rendering. Done means the sequence no longer produces a NullPointerException and the turtle view remains usable.
