[Swarm-Support] Solution to EZgraph line colors and a question

[Dinis Gökaydin]

Hello again Swarm Support,

First I would like to share with the Java users the (almost) 
heuristically found solution to the EZgraph colors problem I had posted 
previously. The problem is that Java users like myself don't have a clue 
to what createBegin() and createEnd() are. Reading some previous posts 
and noticing by chance that the two aforementioned methods still existed 
 in SwarmJava I came up with this. Dunno if it's the best way to do it 
but it works.

-------------------------------------------------------
String[] colors = {"color_1","color_2"};

name_of_your_graph = new EZGraphImpl();
        
_whatever_= new EZGraphCImpl(name_of_your_graph);
                
_whatever_.createBegin(getZone());
_whatever_.setAxisLabelsX$Y("x_label","y_label");
_whatever_.setColors$count(colors,2);
_whatever_.setGraphics(true);
_whatever_.setTitle("name_of_your_graph");
_whatever_.createEnd(); 
-------------------------------------------------------

I also have a question. Taking advantage of dynamic scheduling I came up 
with a way to speed up my program considerably.

I was happy about myself for a while, but then I encountered a problem. 
My scheme demads a first scheduling step for every agent with 
at$createActionTo$message() at time 0. I was handling 10000 agents then, 
and it takes 20sec to build and schedule them. Great - I thought to 
myself - then 100000 will take 200sec, or 3min20sec. Nope... It takes 
26min42sec!! My deep mathematical insight tells me this is not linearly 
increasing :-)

By the way,it takes (cough) one second to build 100000 agents without 
the at$createActionTo$message() step. Anyone has any idea why this is 
happening and has a simple solution before I start creating multiple 
10000 schedules? This would a real problem since I am aiming for 1000000 
agents. I don't even know if swarm can handle 1exp6 agents...

Thank you very much,
