The View documentation at 
https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/wiki/Widget-Format still suggests that 
it is possible to set the view parameters.  Setting aside the fact that 
these are a bit over-determined (because setting patch size may conflict 
with the window dimensions), I believe the settings are not honored at 
start up.  Specifically, if the specified width of the window is very thin, 
I deduce that it is overridden to the minimum necessary to display the 
control widgets (and by default, the tick counter).  A particular loss is 
the response to setting a patch size of -1, which used to hide the view.  
(It seems one can still `set-patch-size` to a larger negative number to 
effectively hide the view, but not in the widget specification.)

This seems to raise multiple issues:
- I recall developer agreement that it should be possible to hide the view,
  which is irrelevant to some models,
  but this has become messier rather than easier
- in some models the control widgets in the View are irrelevant,
  but they are controlling available display possibilities

Apologies for the multiple recent posts: issues tend to arise at the 
semester start.  (I'll stop posting now, unless I find something serious.)
