Randall, your code snippet looks more or less correct.
- landPortrayal's field is potatoProducers.land
- landPortrayal's simple portrayal is a wrapper on PotatoProducer
- potatoDistributorsPortrayal's field is potatoDistributors.land2
- potatoDistributorsPortrayal's simple portrayal is a wrapper on PotatoDistributor
BUT
FIRST this is weird:
PotatoProducers potatoProducers = (PotatoProducers) state;
... PotatoDistributors potatoDistributors = (PotatoDistributors) state;
Are PotatoProducers and PotatoDistributors both interfaces? Is there a reason why you're casting the state (a SimState) into two different things?
SECOND:
> The code checks out, but gives a runtime "potatoDistributors cannot be cast to potatoProducers" error.
This is not an actual exception, and in fact it *cannot* be an exception (neither "potatoDistributors" nor "potatoProducers", as spelled, are classes). Could you provide us with the actual error and stack trace?
Is it possible that you have put a PotatoDistributor object in your potatoProducers.land field, which is supposed to only hold PotatoProducers? This would produce a class cast error when the portrayal tries to draw it and you try to cast it to a PotatoProducer.
