Hi,
I’m trying to visualize my agents moving, however, I keep running into this error:
MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type Tuple{Int64} to an object of type GeometryBasics.OffsetInteger{-1, UInt32}
The image I have loaded into my script is .bmp file of dimensions (2337, 3377). I made sure to update abm\_video to abmvideo, but am still facing problems.
These are my inputs:
begin
CairoMakie.activate!()
static\_preplot!(ax, model) = scatter!(ax, model.goal; color = (:red, 50), marker = ‘x’)
abm\_video(
“maze.gif”,
model,
agent\_step!;
resolution=(2337, 3377),
frames=1200,
framerate=30,
ac=:red,
as=11,
heatarray = \_ → pathfinder.walkmap,
add\_colorbar = false,
)
end
Advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

please see [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/please-read-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757) for us to help you, specifically
- format code
- provide actually runnable code (what’s `model`?)
- provide a minimal working example
- provide stacktrace

I’m not exactly sure where the error is coming from, but my guess is the `resolution` keyword argument is not part of `abmvideo`. I think you have to specify this in the beginning when making your figure
```julia
fig = Figure(resolution = ( ))
```
From the docs, it seems you can also use the `figure` keyword argument like this ([example here](https://juliadynamics.github.io/InteractiveDynamics.jl/dev/agents/#Creating-custom-ABM-plots-1))
```julia
abmvideo(file, model, agent_step!; figure = (; resolution = (,))
```
Another issue is that you should be using GLMakie (which uses the GPU for interactivity) instead of CairoMakie (which is used for static plots).

Note that a video is not “interactive”, it’s just a sequence of static images and cairomakie can do that fine.

I learned a thing.

yeap all videos in the docs of Agents.jl are done with CairoMakie 😉
