'Is there a way to set patch color for multiple patches with a single line of code in NetLogo?
Right now i am using
ask patch 1 1 [set pcolor grey]
ask patch 1 -1 [set pcolor grey]
ask patch -1 1 [set pcolor grey]
ask patch -1 -1 [set pcolor grey]
Is there a way to set patch color for multiple patches with a single line of code in NetLogo?

Simplest way:
ask (patch-set patch 1 1 patch 1 -1 patch -1 1 patch -1 -1) [ set pcolor grey ]
(The following has been updated in response to Seth's comment:)
If this is being run from the observer (that is, it's not being run by any agent) you can use at-points like so:
ask patches at-points [[1 1] [1 -1] [-1 1] [-1 -1]] [ set pcolor grey ]
However, if this code is run by a turtle or a patch, the list of coordinates will be treated as relative to that agent. So patches at-points [[1 0] [0 1]] will give the patch to the right and the patch above the current agent. You can easily make a version that uses absolute coordinates:
to-report patches-at-coords [ coordinates ]
report (patch-set map [patch first ? last ?] coordinates)
end
and then use it like so:
ask patches-at-coords [[1 1] [1 -1] [-1 1] [-1 -1]] [ set pcolor grey ]
Regardless, unless you're doing this a lot, I'd go with the first method.
