Update visualization tutorial with PropertyLayers

[EwoutH]

Now that PropertyLayers can be visualized (https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/pull/2336), it would be nice to include that in the visualization tutorial.

@EwoutH can you please guide me about this issue

Hey @wareeshaali2003, thanks for your interest in this issue!

For some background, property layers were introduced in Mesa through PR #1898 and have been an integral part of the framework since then. Later, a way to visualize property layers was added in PR #2336. However, there is currently no discussion of visualizing or incorporating property layers in any of the tutorials.

This issue aims to address that. You can experiment with property layers yourself and consider creating a tutorial dedicated to them. For an example model, check out this link.

Note however that there are also various open discussions and questions pointing to the need to improve support for how property layers are being visualized.

Anyone have any idea what the status of this is (CC @tpike3)?

I created a basic tutorial on visualizing property layers, which you can find here: link. However, it’s still quite simple, and I think we need a more comprehensive tutorial that fully explains both the use and visualization of property layers.
