Where are the arrows being generated? #217

Closed jzadra closed 2 years ago

I'm curious where in the code the arrows are created. I can't seem to find anything that specifies how they are drawn.

They are rendered with CSS using Bootstrap Glyphicons

.timecontrol-play.pause:before {
    content: "\e073";
}

Hi, I was just looking into this more, and I'm wondering if you are referring to the arrow used for the "Play" button? I was wondering about the directional arrows on the map. The only way I've found to do arrows in leaflet is to create them out of lines, which is a very computation intensive process.

Yes I was talking about player button because that the only thing rendered by the plugin itself. Arrows on the map as seen in demo (https://apps.socib.es/Leaflet.TimeDimension/examples/example3.html) are rendered by a map tile server as image tiles (sample). Check Thredds, geoserver, mapserver or equivalent.

The purpose of this plugin in mainly to control the time parameter of the layer. Everything else is handled by leaflet.
