[starlogo-users] StarLogo & GIS

[Jim Tobias]

I'll second John's question.  I'm interested in GIS for traffic analysis.  I
would like to be able to load a map with traffic data, then run a StarLogo
simulation on various changes to traffic patterns, especially the effects of
new developments under consideration by zoning authorities.

As I see it, a weakness of StarLogo is not being able to superimpose the
models on top of high-res images.  For example, I'd like to load a GIS map,
and assign patches only to the places where roads were.  I would just like
to make things happen on the roads, not the land in between.  Am I missing
something?
