Hi Thomas, Thank you so much! It is the first time i have ever used Mason. I don't know how to get started. Is it possible that i can see the code for creating the ValueGrid2D, and the steppable? Thanks! I really appreciate it. Jiaqi On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 11:10 PM, Russell Thomas < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi Jiaqi, > > Yes, I've done this, in the context of an Agent inspector.
