Hi,

I am using the abmplot function in Agents.jl to plot the location of my agents. It is plotting the agents fine, but I would like to add a title and axis labels. Nothing I have done seems to work. I am using CairoMakie and the relevant code is below. Where do I put the title = “Title” and xlable = “xlabel” statements?

#MAKE a STATIC PLOT of AGENTS

#set up the plot

offset(a) = a isa Bank ? (-0.1, -0.1_rand()) : (+0.1, +0.1_rand())

ashape(a) = a isa Bank ? :circle : :utriangle

#MAKE a STATIC PLOT of AGENTS  
#set up the plot  
offset(a) = a isa Bank ? (-0.1, -0.1_rand()) : (+0.1, +0.1_rand())  
ashape(a) = a isa Bank ? :circle : :utriangleacolor(a) = a isa Bank ? a.acolor : :blue  
plotkwargs = (;  
agent\_color = acolor,  
agent\_size = 10,  
agent\_marker = ashape,  
offset,  
agentsplotkwargs = (strokewidth = 1.0, strokecolor = :black),  
)

#create the plot  
fig, ax, abmobs = abmplot(testmodel; plotkwargs…)

#see the plot  
fig

Solution provided on Julia slack channel dynamics-bridged:  
Add modifications to ax after using abmplot(), such as

#create the plot  
fig, ax, abmobs = abmplot(testmodel; plotkwargs…)  
ax.title = “Title”  
ax.xlabel = “East-West”  
ax.ylabel = “North-South”  
#see the plot  
fig
