    public class ScapeFromXMLView

extends NonGraphicView

A view that instantiates a scape with the contents of an XML file. Agents will be assigned properties based on the values as defined in this example. This would create an agent of with a foodState of 0.66542, a mode of 1, a timeWaitingForFood of 14, and a vision of 40. All values specified in the header must be Java properties; that is, there must be getters and setters defined in the agent for each value. How these agents are created is specified by the attributes sizeMode, readOrder, and assignmentOrder. SizeMode determines whether the scape's size will be set by the number of agents defined in the XML file or by the default size of the scape. AssignmentOrder determines whether agents will be selected to receive XML data randomly or sequentially. ReadOrder determines whether XML data will be read randomly or sequentially. These flags are set in the input file (where the data is), and not in the Control file (typically "run.xml"). If values for any or all of these attributes are not specified in the XML file, the defaults are: size by file, and sequentially for both orders. This was written by drawing extensively from ScapeFromFileView. User: jmiller Date: Jan 10, 2006 Time: 10:22:32 AM To change this template use Options | File Templates.
