What is it?
This extension can be used to add further windows for displaying the NetLogo world patches. It is possible to define a patch variable, which should be used for colorization. Therefore it can be used to visualize more than one patch-variable at a time (it can't visualize turtles currently). The colorization can be actualized in each simulation step and there is a reduced set of right-mouse-click functions available (export to graphics file, inspect patch x y). The settings of NetLogo's own view about the size and number of patches is used for each extra view-window created by the extension.
How to get it?
Download the zip file for your NetLogo version, unzip the file inside your extensions directory of your NetLogo installation. Now, you shoud see an multiview folder inside the extensions folder. See the documentation inside multiview/doc for further instructions.
