This is an interesting digression Ken.  I do the same thing in my sim. 
The object only knows its absolute position in meters.  Its position on
the raster has no meaning in the model.  Therefore, the objects in the
model world don't know, store, care, or even calculate these values. 
The map object in the observer swarm has a method which accepts
coordinates in meters (double variables), converts them to integer
raster locations, and draws them on the screen.
