Integration of NetLogo into a notebook environment?

[Brady, Corey]

Hello All –

A quick question – I am hoping to be able to integrate NetLogo models into a notebook like a python or R notebook (python preferable, but both of interest). 

Has such a thing been done?  Would it be hard?

Best,

-Corey

Umit Aslam made some efforts to use NetLogo in Jupyter Notebook. 

Do you have specific hardware limitations, e.g. need to use it on Web? Chromebook?

Hi. – I am exploring options, so no ‘hard’ constraints yet.

Web-based (e.g., Google Colab) is ideal, but I could probably do some contortions to get the basic functionality in a robust way. 
I want to use this in the context of a fairly large course in the fall.

You don't often get email from yuehanc...@u.northwestern.edu. Learn why this is important

Hi Corey,

I wonder if we should try to use the new NetLogo online forum for a more sustained discussion; I wonder, for the first part, which description matches better your needs.

1) Have a NetLogo-based computational notebook (i.e. the students write NetLogo code, or NetLogo code mixed with Python/R code);

2) Have a R/Python-based computational notebook that can call NetLogo code/models (i.e. the students write R/Python code, using pyNetLogo or NL4Py).

Best,

John Chen

If you meant the 2nd one, there is already an example here:

Hey Corey,

If you want to host the notebook on the web, and if the platforms you are looking at support embedding HTML pages (or links to pages) then NetLogo Web might be an option.  If those platforms allow interacting with the page via JavaScript, then you can use the NLW event and query systems to react to events inside the model and to get data out.  Documentation of those features is incomplete, but we have a sample repository showing the basics of wiring them up:  https://github.com/LaCuneta/netlogo-web-logging-example  I'm happy to answer questions on that if you do decide to try an implementation with it.

If you want to run a local instance with NetLogo desktop, then the PyNetLogo library that John linked might be worth a look.

Yeah, and if we are going down the NLW rabbit hole, we could consider using NetLogo's CodeMirror 6 support - part of our editor renovation project - since CodeMirror 6 is already used in JupyterLab. But then, to make notebooks really notebooks, we need to have many smaller code blocks. Well, that goes into my plans for NetLogo Chat now!
