//
// A LOGO-style movement model, with the script coming from XML. It can be
// useful for describing random as well as deterministic scenarios.
//
// First, a few examples.
//
// Node will move along a square's borders:
//
// <pre><nohtml>
//     <movement>
//         <set speed="10" angle="180"/>
//         <repeat n="4">
//             <forward d="50"/>
//             <turn angle="90"/>
//         </repeat>
//     </movement>
// </nohtml></pre>
//
// ~MassMobility (in which the node is assumed to have a mass, and cannot turn
// abruptly):
//
// <pre><nohtml>
//     <movement>
//         <repeat>
//             <set speed="uniform(10,20)"/>
//             <turn angle="uniform(-30,30)"/>
//             <forward t="uniform(0.1,1)"/>
//         </repeat>
//     </movement>
// </nohtml></pre>
//
// ~RandomWaypointMobility:
//
// <pre><nohtml>
//     <movement>
//         <repeat>
//             <set speed="uniform(20,60)"/>
//             <moveto x="uniform($MINX,$MAXX)" y="uniform($MINY,$MAXY)"/>
//         </repeat>
//     </movement>
// </nohtml></pre>
//
// Commands (XML element names) are: repeat, set, forward, turn, wait,
// moveto, and moveby.
//
// Accepted attributes:
//    - repeat: n (optional)
//    - set: x, y, speed, angle, borderPolicy (all optional)
//    - forward: d, t (at last one of them must be present)
//    - turn: angle (required)
//    - wait: t (required)
//    - moveto: x, y, t (all optional)
//    - moveby: x, y, t (all optional)
//
// Attribute values can be literal numbers (e.g. x="100"), or any
// distribution accepted in omnetpp.ini (e.g. speed="uniform(10,20)").
// A new value will be chosen each time the statement is executed.
// The $MINX, $MAXX, $MINY and $MAXY strings will be substituted with the
// limits of constraint area, respectively.
//
// t is time interval, calculated from the end of the previous movement.
// x, y are absolute coordinates with <set> and <moveto>, and relative
// with <moveby>. angle is clockwise in degrees, with 0 pointing west.
// d is distance in meters (speed is m/s).
//
// borderPolicy controls what happens when a node reaches the edge of the
// constraint area, and can take one of the values "reflect", "wrap",
// "placerandomly". In the first case, the node reflects off the wall;
// with "wrap", it'll come in on the other side (torus); and with
// "placerandomly", it will be placed at a random position on the
// constraint area.
//
// In addition to the node position, the module maintains two interval variables,
// 'speed' and 'angle', which can be adjusted by <set> and <turn>.
// The <forward> statement, if only t or d is given, uses the speed variable.
// If you specify d and t together, that determines speed as well,
// so the speed variable will be ignored completely.
//
// Likewise, <moveto> and <moveby> will ignore the angle variable,
// and will only use the speed variable if the t attribute is omitted.
//
// If the repeat count n is omitted for the <repeat> statement, that
// means an infinite loop.
//
// You can find the DTD with the sources: TurtleMobility.dtd.
//
//TODO update documentation; <turn heading=".."> is strange
