Using ChartModule with multiple series

[Joel Carneiro]

Hello,
I am using mesa to build a simple simulation. 

I have a simulation and a case where I want to show the number of agents with the health status a,b,c and d, in each step. I want all data in one chart. 

For now, I have 4 datacollector instances and 4 charts as I cannot put all together.

My problem is how to connect the mode_reporters with the series in the ChartModule class as I am trying to have one reporter pointing to a function that returns a pack or maybe a list with the values I want.

example code :

model.py

def cumulative_values(self):

    some_conditions....

    

     return a, b, c, d    #or  return [a,b,c,d]

inside model __init__
self.datacollector = DataCollector( model_reporters={"Cumulatices": cumulative_values})

visualization_model.py

ChartModule([{"Label": "a Agents",

                           "Color": "#ff0000"}, 

                          {"Label": "b Agents",

                              "Color": "#ff6699"}, 

                          {"Label": "c Agents",

                           "Color": "#33cc33"}, 

                          {"Label": "d Agents",

                           "Color": "black"}],

                         data_collector_name='datacollector')

I am not understanding how to use the datacollector object with the ChartModel. The documentation/tutorial is not too deep in this matter.

Thanks in advance!

Well, I found a solution :)

model.py

self.datacollector_cumulatives = DataCollector(

            {"a Agents": cumulative_values_a,

             "b Agents": cumulative_values_b,

             "c Agents": cumulative_values_c,

             "d Agents": cumulative_values_d,})

visualization_model.py  

chart_cumulatives = ChartModule([{"Label": "aAgents",

                           "Color": "#ff0000"},

                          {"Label": "bAgents",

                           "Color": "#ff6699"},

                          {"Label": "cAgents",

                           "Color": "black"},

                          {"Label": "dAgents",

                           "Color": "#33cc33"}

                          ],

                         data_collector_name='datacollector_cumulatives')

each  cumulative_values_(value) is a function returning an integer
