Extension of the TimeSlider in GE Client #197

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The GE client natively understands the format for TimeSpan kml objects, and 
allows for basic manipulation of data based on date. I'd love to see this 
feature extended to other basic data types. Implementation may differ, but 
here's an example: When custom data is defined via a <Schema> and 
<SimpleData>, add an additional parameter to SimpleData (i.e. span_id) that 
identifies this field as being "data that should be put into a slider 
called 'span_id'". This feature should only work on SimpleData datatypes 
that have a natural ordering (ints, doubles, strings) so that GE will 
automagically range the entries in a predictable manner. Multiple 'slider 
bars' should collapse in the GE interface to avoid clutter (similar to how 
the navigation compass minimizes when not under the cursor). This feature 
would allow for basic data analysis of user-provided data in a natural and 
convenient manner.

Agreed. This would greatly enhance the GIS-like abilities of GE.

Bump. I find myself having to carefully instruct users on how to navigate 
complicated tree structures in the Places panel. The slider bar is a natural 
user interface mechanism, and if I could provide a label for the new slider 
(also in the KML) it would be perfect for managing large but 'groupable' 
datasets.

This is a good idea. It would make it much easier to explain.
