"""Collector enables the policy to interact with different types of envs.
:param policy: an instance of the :class:`~tianshou.policy.BasePolicy`
class.
:param env: a ``gym.Env`` environment or an instance of the
:class:`~tianshou.env.BaseVectorEnv` class.
:param buffer: an instance of the :class:`~tianshou.data.ReplayBuffer`
class. If set to ``None`` (testing phase), it will not store the data.
:param function preprocess_fn: a function called before the data has been
added to the buffer, see issue #42 and :ref:`preprocess_fn`, defaults
to None.
:param BaseNoise action_noise: add a noise to continuous action. Normally
a policy already has a noise param for exploration in training phase,
so this is recommended to use in test collector for some purpose.
:param function reward_metric: to be used in multi-agent RL. The reward to
report is of shape [agent_num], but we need to return a single scalar
to monitor training. This function specifies what is the desired
metric, e.g., the reward of agent 1 or the average reward over all
agents. By default, the behavior is to select the reward of agent 1.
The ``preprocess_fn`` is a function called before the data has been added
to the buffer with batch format, which receives up to 7 keys as listed in
:class:`~tianshou.data.Batch`. It will receive with only ``obs`` when the
collector resets the environment. It returns either a dict or a
:class:`~tianshou.data.Batch` with the modified keys and values. Examples
are in "test/base/test_collector.py".
Here is the example:
::
policy = PGPolicy(...) # or other policies if you wish
env = gym.make('CartPole-v0')
replay_buffer = ReplayBuffer(size=10000)
# here we set up a collector with a single environment
collector = Collector(policy, env, buffer=replay_buffer)
# the collector supports vectorized environments as well
envs = DummyVectorEnv([lambda: gym.make('CartPole-v0')
for _ in range(3)])
collector = Collector(policy, envs, buffer=replay_buffer)
# collect 3 episodes
collector.collect(n_episode=3)
# collect 1 episode for the first env, 3 for the third env
collector.collect(n_episode=[1, 0, 3])
# collect at least 2 steps
collector.collect(n_step=2)
# collect episodes with visual rendering (the render argument is the
# sleep time between rendering consecutive frames)
collector.collect(n_episode=1, render=0.03)
Collected data always consist of full episodes. So if only ``n_step``
argument is give, the collector may return the data more than the
``n_step`` limitation. Same as ``n_episode`` for the multiple environment
case.
.. note::
Please make sure the given environment has a time limitation.
