Re: [Repast-developer] RE: NonGridDrawable

[Mark R. D. <mdi...@la...>]

An eventual goal of our current refactoring project is to get the GUI 
related rendering aspects of the project separated from the model. So I 
think eventually, the use of implementing the Drawable interface in 
Agents will be replaced with some sort of rendering api thats separate 
of the agents and the model.

This would be a point at which we could consider such a problem of 
drawing an agents position visually to be separate from its "position" 
in a models space. In this sense, in the future one would "configure" 
which methods/properties represent the positional information in an 
object/agent in the renderer itself.

My thoughts are that different renderers would be available to do 
discrete vs continuous space visualization, but the actual <type> of the 
property determining position could be any Object or primitive that 
could be "transformed" into double.
