GIS shapefiles

[Mikael Lundin]

Hi,

I'm trying to create agents inhabiting a territory, visualized by a GIS map. I'd want a political map, topographical map, climate map, etc in layers often seen in shapefile repositories. Where do I find documentation for including this in Simphony geographies? For instance, using layers of maps, or updating a color in one of these maps, as a function of number of agents. Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Mikael

If these are static background layers, you can add them using the  
display wizard: in the agent style section for a gis display click the  
"+" button to add a shapefile.

If they are dynamic, that is, you want to change feature attribute  
values then you'll need to treat the features as a source for agent  
data. I think there's been other posts on the list that explain that  
more fully as well as a GIS based tutorial on the website.
