Does MASON support dynamic agent creation? I mean to create agents not all at the start up but some in the middle of simulation. The issue seems at the method of "setupPortrayals()" in the GUIState object. I am not sure if one needs to register all agents individually there to make them show up at the simulation. If one does, we have a problem because we do not know yet how many agents will show up eventually?
