NetLogo Help: setxy

### setxy1.0

#### setxy x y

The turtle sets its x-coordinate to x and its y-coordinate to y.

Equivalent to `set xcor x set ycor y`, except it happens in one time step instead of two.

If x or y is outside the world, NetLogo will throw a runtime error, unless wrapping is turned on in the relevant dimensions. For example, with wrapping turned on in both dimensions and the default world size where `min-pxcor = -16`, `max-pxcor = 16`, `min-pycor = -16` and `max-pycor = 16`, asking a turtle to `setxy 17 17` will move it to the center of patch (-16, -16).

    setxy 0 0
    ;; turtle moves to the middle of the center patch
    setxy random-xcor random-ycor
    ;; turtle moves to a random point
    setxy random-pxcor random-pycor
    ;; turtle moves to the center of a random patch
