For years I have been using the xw extension to create multiple GUI tabs in my simulation for more complex user selection options and inputs, such as the option to select multiple items in a list (xw:create-multi-chooser), and also to interactively generate what is effectively a table of widgets with a user-modifiable number of rows.
I just downloaded and installed NetLogo v 7.0.3 and the xw extension no longer works, and I cannot even find information on it anymore. From what I can tell NetLogo v7.0.3 only has the basic widgets and doesn’t have any other extension to create more GUI tabs and more complex user interfaces, so I cannot see any way to modlify my code or use a different extension to achieve the same functionality.
Thank you for reporting this issue. The xw extension is a third party extension currently managed by Nicolas Payette, and can be found here. I would recommend contacting him ([email protected]) to see if the extension can be updated for NetLogo 7. Let us know if you have any questions or if you run into any other issues!
Following this thread, and with all the changes in NetLogo 7, are there updates to how extensions work? If so, will those be documented here: Extensions API · NetLogo/NetLogo Wiki · GitHub ? I see it was last updated in 2022. Thanks! Dale
@DaleFrakes There haven’t been any changes to the core functionality of extensions or how they work in NetLogo, but we did increment the Extensions API version in NetLogo 7, since there were quite a few breaking changes made to other NetLogo APIs that happened to be used by some extensions. These changes are not currently documented on the Extensions API page, but as far as I can tell, they aren’t related to the things that are currently mentioned on that page. Everything described there should still work in NetLogo 7, but definitely let us know if that’s not the case.
