Mesa Space Module#

Objects used to add a spatial component to a model.

Grid: base grid, which creates a rectangular grid. SingleGrid: extension to Grid which strictly enforces one agent per cell. MultiGrid: extension to Grid where each cell can contain a set of agents. HexGrid: extension to Grid to handle hexagonal neighbors. ContinuousSpace: a two-dimensional space where each agent has an arbitrary

position of float’s.

NetworkGrid: a network where each node contains zero or more agents.

accept_tuple_argument(wrapped_function: F) F[source]#

Decorator to allow grid methods that take a list of (x, y) coord tuples to also handle a single position, by automatically wrapping tuple in single-item list rather than forcing user to do it.

is_single_argument_function(function)[source]#

Check if a function is a single argument function.

class PropertyLayer(name: str, width: int, height: int, default_value, dtype=<class 'numpy.float64'>)[source]#

A class representing a layer of properties in a two-dimensional grid. Each cell in the grid can store a value of a specified data type.

Attributes:

name (str): The name of the property layer. width (int): The width of the grid (number of columns). height (int): The height of the grid (number of rows). data (numpy.ndarray): A NumPy array representing the grid data.

Methods:

set_cell(position, value): Sets the value of a single cell. set_cells(value, condition=None): Sets the values of multiple cells, optionally based on a condition. modify_cell(position, operation, value): Modifies the value of a single cell using an operation. modify_cells(operation, value, condition_function): Modifies the values of multiple cells using an operation. select_cells(condition, return_list): Selects cells that meet a specified condition. aggregate_property(operation): Performs an aggregate operation over all cells.

Initializes a new PropertyLayer instance.

Args:

name (str): The name of the property layer. width (int): The width of the grid (number of columns). Must be a positive integer. height (int): The height of the grid (number of rows). Must be a positive integer. default_value: The default value to initialize each cell in the grid. Should ideally

be of the same type as specified by the dtype parameter.

dtype (data-type, optional): The desired data-type for the grid’s elements. Default is np.float64.

Raises:

ValueError: If width or height is not a positive integer.

Notes:

A UserWarning is raised if the default_value is not of a type compatible with dtype. The dtype parameter can accept both Python data types (like bool, int or float) and NumPy data types (like np.int64 or np.float64). Using NumPy data types is recommended (except for bool) for better control over the precision and efficiency of data storage and computations, especially in cases of large data volumes or specialized numerical operations.

This class provides a property empties that returns a set of coordinates for all empty cells in the grid. It is automatically updated whenever agents are added or removed from the grid.
