nw:generate-wheel

nw:generate-wheel turtle-breed link-breed num-nodes optional-command-block

Variants:

• nw:generate-wheel-inward
• nw:generate-wheel-outward

Generates a wheel network, which is basically a ring network with an additional “central” turtle that is connected to every other turtle.

The number of nodes must be at least four.

The nw:generate-wheel only works with undirected link breeds. The nw:generate-wheel-inward and nw:generate-wheel-outward versions only work with directed link-breed. The inward and outward part of the primitive names refer to the direction that the “spokes” of the wheel point to relative to the central turtle.

If you specify an optional-command-block, it is executed for each turtle in the newly created network. For example:
