Hi

Here's a piece of  code from setupPortrayals for making a plot to show 3
statistics (averages of wealth, preference and utility) for my
population of agents.

if(agentAvgPlotGenerator!=null)
	((JFrame)agentAvgPlotGenerator.getRootPane().getParent()).dispose();
//throw away the old chart (if its not the first time you pressed "Start")

Properties ap = new SimpleProperties(new AgentProperties());
//AgentProperties is a innerclass inside MySimWithUI
//where I make public a bunch of getters (and setters)
//for my agents.

ChartingPropertyInspector iPref = new TimeSeriesChartingPropertyInspector(ap,5,this, null);
agentAvgPlotGenerator =iPref.getGenerator();
//I make a new inspector and I take its chart generator
//so I can reuse it to show the rest of the stats in the same chart

ChartingPropertyInspector iWealth = new TimeSeriesChartingPropertyInspector(ap,6,this, agentAvgPlotGenerator);
ChartingPropertyInspector iUtil = new TimeSeriesChartingPropertyInspector(ap,10,this, agentAvgPlotGenerator);
//5, 6 and 10 are the indices of the right getters in SimpleProperties(AgentProperties).
//This is one of the reasons for using the proxy AgentProperties, instead
//of using the methods from MySim: as you continue to add methods to MySim, the indices might change.
//So you just make the proxy class that's only used by the charting code.
////(I myself also use these proxies inside a tabbed inspector for the
//// model (agent stats, firm stats, sim stats, etc), but for
//// now you should do as I say not as I do).

iWealth.setStopper(iWealth.reviseStopper(scheduleImmediateRepeat(true, iWealth.getUpdateSteppable())));
controller.registerInspector(iWealth, iWealth.getStopper());
//now get the stopper for each inspector and register it with the console

iPref.setStopper(iPref.reviseStopper(scheduleImmediateRepeat(true, iPref.getUpdateSteppable())));
controller.registerInspector(iPref, iPref.getStopper());

iUtil.setStopper(iUtil.reviseStopper(scheduleImmediateRepeat(true, iUtil.getUpdateSteppable())));
controller.registerInspector(iUtil, iUtil.getStopper());


enjoy
Gabriel
