Hey John - just found the code you are talking about... somehow I had lost all that detail in my cpp files. Let me read the obvious examples and go forward. Regarding the PDF/PPTX: http://mec.usc.edu/sc10/tutorial/SC10Tutorials/docs/S09/S09.pdf Thanks, Mark Murphy, John T. wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > I'd be curious to know where you found this pdf/pptx document; it would > make it easier to know exactly what the source of confusion is. > > The call to createComplementaryEdges in the RumorModel code occurs in > RumorModel.cpp, line 127. > > Please note that this call occurs in the most recently distributed version > of Repast HPC, version 1.0.1.
