GIS tools extension for NetLogo

Here is a recent announcement. I've looked this briefly and it is quite impressive.

Subject: [netlogo-users] GIS Extension to NetLogo

A beta version of the GIS Extension for NetLogo is now available for
downloading from the CCL website:

http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/4.0/extensions/gis/

The extension provides primitives for importing vector GIS data (in
the form of ESRI shapefiles) and raster GIS data (in the form of ESRI
ascii grid files) into NetLogo. Installation instructions and the
complete documentation are at the above link.

I don't consider the extension to be feature-complete at this point,
but it does have enough functionality to be useful to the community.
And it's been pretty well tested, as I've been using myself it to
develop models for the past month or so. If you encounter any bugs, or
if you have any suggestions for additional functionality, please let
me know. Thanks,

Eric
