breed

breed

This is a built-in turtle and link variable. It holds the agentset of all turtles or links of the same breed as this turtle or link. (For turtles or links that do not have any particular breed, this is the turtles agentset of all turtles or the links agentset of all links respectively.)

You can set this variable to change a turtle or link’s breed. (When a turtle changes breeds, its shape is reset to the default shape for that breed. See set-default-shape.)
