Parcels

Below is a list of images available for use as parcels. To change the image used as a parcel in a GridCity world, you must define a class that extends the Parcel class and uses the setAttribute() method to set the attribute "imageName" to be the filename of the image file (see Javadoc, see example). After this is done, you can then edit world files directly or use the World Editor to recognize your newly defined parcels (see documentation for the World Editor, see example).
