clear-all essentially clears everything in a model: all drawings, turtles, plots, links, etc. It also sets the values of all the globals and agent properties to zero and makes all the patches black. It essentially reverts the model to a blank slate. You can also use ca as a shortened version.

clear-all is usually located at the beginning of a model’s setup procedure to make sure the model starts out with nothing already there.

In the model example below, we have two buttons. The first one makes the patches' color yellow and asks turtles to draw some random lines. The second button simply runs the clear-all primitive to clear everything.
