# Class: Agentmap

## Agentmap(map, animation_intervalopt)

#### new Agentmap(map, animation_intervalopt)

The main class for building, storing, simulating, and manipulating agent-based models on Leaflet maps.

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`map` | object |  |  | A Leaflet Map instance.
`animation_interval` | number | <optional> | 1 | The number of steps agents must move before being redrawn. Given 1, they will be redrawn after every step. Given 0, the animation will not update at all. 1 by default. Must be a nonnegative integer.

##### Properties:

Name | Type | Attributes | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
`map` | object |  | A Leaflet Map instance.
`agents` | FeatureGroup |  | A featureGroup containing all agents.
`units` | FeatureGroup |  | A featureGroup containing all units.
`streets` | FeatureGroup |  | A featureGroup containing all streets.

`state`

object

Properties detailing the state of the simulation process.

###### Properties

Name | Type | Attributes | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
`running` | boolean |  | Whether the simulation is running or not.
`paused` | boolean |  | Whether the simulation is paused.
`animation_frame_id` | number | <nullable> | The id of the agentmap's update function in the queue of functions to call for the coming animation frame.
`ticks` | number | <nullable> | The number of ticks elapsed since the start of the simulation.

`animation_interval` | number |  | The number of steps agents must move before being redrawn. Given 1, they will be redrawn after every step. Given 0, the animation will not update at all. 1 by default. Will be a nonnegative integer.
`controller` | function | <nullable> | User-defined function to be called on each update.

### Methods

#### agentify(count, agentFeatureMaker)

Generate some number of agents and place them on the map.

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`count` | number | The desired number of agents.
`agentFeatureMaker` | agentFeatureMaker | A callback that determines an agent i's feature properties and geometry (always a Point).

Source:
  - agents.js, line 737

#### buildingify(bounding_box, streets_data, street_optionsopt, unit_optionsopt, units_dataopt)

Generate and setup the desired map features (e.g. streets, houses).

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Attributes | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
`bounding_box` | Array.<Array.<number>> |  | The map's top-left and bottom-right coordinates.
`streets_data` | object |  | A GeoJSON Feature Collection object containing the OSM street features inside the bounding box.
`street_options` | object | <optional> | An object containing the Leaflet styling options for streets. See available options here: https://leafletjs.com/reference-1.3.2.html#polyline-l-polyline.

`unit_options`

object

<optional>

An object containing the Leaflet & AgentMaps styling options for units.
See available Leaflet options here: https://leafletjs.com/reference-1.3.2.html#polygon-l-polygon
Additional AgentMaps-specific options are described below.

###### Properties

Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`front_buffer` | number | <optional> | 6 | The number of meters beetween the front of unit and its street.
`side_buffer` | number | <optional> | 3 | The number of meters between two units on the same street.
`length` | number | <optional> | 14 | The length of the unit in meters along the street.
`depth` | number | <optional> | 18 | The depth of the unit in meters out from its front.

`units_data` | object | <optional> | If you want to load a previously generated AgentMaps.units object instead of generating one from scarch: A GeoJSON Feature Collection of an AgentMaps.units featureGroup.

  - buildings.js, line 27

#### clear()

Stop the animation, reset the animation state properties, and delete the features.

Source:
  - agentmap.js, line 110

#### downloadUnits()

Since units may take a noticeably long time to generate while typically staying the same over simulations, downloadUnits makes it easy to get a JS file containing the units object, so it can be included with an AgentMaps app and imported into Agentmap.buildingify so they will not need to be regenerated.

#### getNearestIntersection(lat_lng, place) → {LatLng}

Given a point on a street, find the nearest intersection on that street (with any other street).

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`lat_lng` | LatLng | The coordinates of the point on the street to search from.
`place` | Place | A place object corresponding to the street.

Source:
  - agentmap.js, line 215

##### Returns:

- The coordinates of the nearest intersection.

Type
  LatLng

#### getStreetNearDoor(unit_id) → {LatLng}

Get the point on the adjacent street in front of the unit's door.

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`unit_id` | number | The unique ID of the unit whose door's corresponding point on the street you want.

Source:
  - agentmap.js, line 158

##### Returns:

- The coordinates point of the adjacent street directly in front of unit's door.

Type
  LatLng

#### getUnitDoor(unit_id) → {LatLng}

Get a point through which an agent can exit/enter a unit.

##### Parameters:

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
