In NetLogo you can easily get a turtle to draw it’s path in continuous space with the pen-down command, how can I do this in Agents.jl - specifically in an interactive GUI? This code successfully adds a button to toggle a pen, but I am lost at how to make it actually draw: `toggle_button = Button(fig, label="Toggle Pen") on(toggle_button.clicks) do _ toggle_pen!(abmobs.model) end`

InteractiveDynamics is depreciated. I’m using GLMakie. I had the same idea to store a path, but I’m not sure how to get it to be printed. Where in abmplot to I add that command?
