[question] using this to playback static data #47

Open tconroy opened 8 years ago

tconroy commented 8 years ago

Hey there!

I have a collection of "reports", containing a lat, long, and timestamp. There are a lot of data points collected over the course of a couple years.

I wanted to use leafletPlayback to display these points chronologically -- each point will only have one lat/lng/timestamp. They will become visible when the timeline hits the day they first appeared, remain visible for a couple more days in the timeline, then disappear after about a week of time has elapsed.

Is that doable for LeafletPlayback? the examples all seem to relate to tracking the movement of a point over time. I just want to have static points with their visibility mapped to the playback scrubber.

Thank you!

Out of the box, no. There is no way for your marker to disappear.

If your samples are many years apart, you'll want to set your tickLen to a very high number.

Thanks for the response. The samples are days apart, over a 3 year period -- so my timeline would be approx 1100 "days" long. The goal is for a marker to be visible on its recorded day and then fade out as the timeline moves away from that day.

I haven't gotten a chance to dive into your source yet, but would making the markers removable (or at least fadeable/transparent) be a difficult process?
