NetLogo list output

[nldoc]

The most common data types of NetLogo globals are numerics, strings and lists.
Currently, nlrx only supports numeric and strings to be entered as metrics or/and agent metrics slot.
While such variables can be entered, they are read as string and are not parsed correctly.

The Problem is that these lists can have multiple dimensions and parsing them to R data structures in a senseful way will be quite complex. A simple list could be just nested within a tibble in the same way we do it for the agent metrics. However, if we have for example a list of lists as an agent variable that would mean to have at least 3 nested layers within the results tibble.

How do we approach this?

1. Find a workaround to at least measure usual lists without nesting?
2. Give detailed examples on the homepage, how lists can be written to file from within NetLogo and how these can be related to the nlrx results output?
3. any other ideas?
