How to save a map to a file at a given time ?

[Patrick Giraudoux]

Dear listers,

During the experiment of a model, I produce a map as following:

display map{    
            grid cell lines:#white;
            species fondVallee aspect:geom;
            species zoneFav aspect:geom;
            species ater aspect:base;
            grid cellPred lines:#red;
            species pred aspect:base;
            }

I would like to save into a file (bitmap, jpeg, or whatever) the image obtained say every time a variable myMonth (defined in global) is equal to 10 (october).

I cannot find out whether it is possible in the doc (paper and on line). save does other things (text, csv, shp)  and no clear example is provided with save_batch

Has anybody some hint about it ?

Best,

Patrick

As far as I know, it is not possible from the code. There is a button on the right top corner of display and to be done manual is possible,

Hi,

You can achieve what you want by combining the autosave and refresh_every facets of display. See http://code.google.com/p/gama-platform/wiki/G__DefiningDisplays for more information

Great, I can manage with autosave indeed. "Refresh_every" can be interesting but has a big limitation since no offset is admitted. This means e.g. if the time step is one month starting simulating in January (month 1), it looks like being impossible to refresh every "october". For that  an offset of 9 months would be necessary save at 10, and then refresh every twelve... Suggestion for a new facet ?

Anyway, thanks for the hint. I will probably refresh_every:1 (the default) and then read the file list from R and automate the selection of files corresponding to a given month..

Best,

Patrick
