extends java.lang.Object

In this framework a graphical agent application consists of at least three parts: An AgentAppModel, an AgentAppFrame, and an AgentAppController. This class demonstrates, how this three parts are plugged together. The easiest way to create a new graphical agent application is to create subclasses of the three parts as needed, and then to subclass this class and override the three factory methods.
