Can I import GIS data into NetLogo?
I want to help you find the answer to this question. It is very important to see how things go as real as possible. I personally use https://aspectum.com/ to get the highest clarity. As well as answered your question you can find it on the link above. Aspectum also has technical operators that help you answer all questions about technical documentation and support for reading common GIS formats.
Yes, a number of users have constructed models using raster GIS data. (We don’t know of users who have used vector GIS data, other than by converting it to raster data first.) One simple way is to use import-pcolors, but that only works for importing maps that are images, not maps in other formats. We do not have built-in support for reading common GIS formats. However, a number of our users are working with GIS data successfully using NetLogo code that reads GIS data using our file I/O primitives such as file-open. It is also possible to use external software to convert GIS data into a format that is easier to read from NetLogo than the original format. This has been discussed on the NetLogo Users Group several times. We encourage users interested in using NetLogo for GIS applications to share their questions and experiences with the group.
