patchRight {NetLogoR}

Patches on the right

Description

Report the coordinates of the patches at the given distances of the turtles and given angle right of their headings.

Usage

patchRight(world, turtles, dist, angle, torus = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'worldNLR,agentMatrix,numeric,numeric'
patchRight(world, turtles, dist, angle, torus = FALSE)

Arguments

world

WorldMatrix or worldArray object.

turtles

AgentMatrix object representing the moving agents.

dist

Numeric. Vector of distances from the turtles. dist must be of length 1 or of length turtles.

angle

Numeric. Vector of angles in degrees by which the turtle's headings should rotate to locate the patches. Must be of length 1 or of length turtles.

torus

Logical to determine if the world is wrapped. Default is torus = FALSE.

Details

If a given dist value is negative, then the turtle would look backward. If a given angle value is negative, then the turtle would look to the left.

     If `torus = FALSE` and the `patch` at distance `dist` of a `turtle`
     and `angle` degrees to the right of its `heading` is outside the
     `world`'s extent, `NA`
     are returned for the `patch` coordinates. If `torus = TRUE`, the `patch`
     coordinates from a wrapped `world` are returned.

Value

Matrix (ncol = 2) with the first column pxcor and the second column pycor representing the coordinates of the patches at dist distances of the turtles and angle to the right of their headings. The order of the patches follows the order of the turtles.

t1 <- createTurtles(n = 1, coords = cbind(xcor = 2, ycor = 2), heading = 90)
patchRight(world = w1, turtles = t1, dist = 2, angle = 90)
