An agent is an element of an agency (.tgt) file. In simplest terms an agent is a site (see sites data (.tsd)) with many more dimensions/parameters and therefor, more capabilities. Most commonly, agents are used to represent an object at a point in four-dimensional space with additional information such as a form, orientation at that point, size, color, etc.

Describe some of the capabilities of an agent.

List parameters and bounds (i.e. value - controls transparency - values between 0 and 1 where 1 is opaque)

Using the RandomAgentGenerator. This is an XL spreadsheet that enables the creation of large numbers of stochastic agents with control over the degree of randomness.
