Shapefiles can't be edited directly, while time-managed.Microseconds also work, but QDateTime limitations prevent it from displaying correctly always. Millisecond steps work well, but to avoid problems your dataset should have a timeformat that itself includes milliseconds, even if that means adding a trailing. Time step can be as small as one second (smaller timesteps not fully supported yet).We fully support years from 100 AD to 8000 in the future.Dates must be according to the Gregorian calendar.Dates must be according to the formats mentioned above.It is therefore limited to these modules' functionality. The plug-in uses Python's datetime module and QDateTime for calculations.

Video export requires an installation of ffmpeg.

Time manager series#

Time Manager supports exporting image series and can create animations from these image series. Stepping through the data for example in 1-hour-sized steps works without problems. The biggest tested dataset was a Spatialite table with indexed timestamps containing approximately 400,000 points, covering a time span of 24 hours. If you want us to support new formats, file a feature request. If you find that a layer of the types mentioned above doesn't behave correctly, please file a bug. TimeManager has been tested with PostGIS layers, Spatialite layers, delimited text layers, and. The left and right arrows can then move the slider. Use Ctrl+Space (or Command+Space if you are using a Mac) to focus on the time slider. If you want to have a kind of cumulative animation where the shown points do not disappear, an often used trick is to create an artificial endTime field which is sufficiently far in the future. Intuitively, if we have a dataset of buildings and the dates they were built (startTime) and demolished (endTime), with TimeManager we are able to show the state of the village at any point in time. If an end time field is defined, then the features whose period overlaps with the interval are shown. If only start time is defined, the plugin will select only the features that have a timestamp within the current time interval (current time until current time + time step). Users of the plugin can define a start and (optionally) an end time field that describes the geometries of the layer.

Please note that the %f directive is not supported in all operating systems, because of underlying library limitations. We currently do not support formats that would put the minutes or seconds before the hour. Variants that put the month or date first will be then generated automatically. Other formats can be added by appending to the YMD_SUPPORTED_FORMATS list in time_util.py a format that puts the day, the month and the year in this order.

Integer timestamp in seconds after or before the epoch ().

Timestamps have to be in one of the following formats:

Time Manager filters your datasets and displays only features with timestamps in the user specified time frame. A dock widget provides a time slider and a configuration dialog for your layers to manage. The aim of '''Time Manager plugin for QGIS''' is to provide comfortable browsing through temporal geodata. Latest news will be published on Anita's blog: What is the goal Time Manager is a plugin for QGIS by Anita Graser and Karolina Alexiou(aka carolinux) Please note that since temporal control has now been integrated into QGIS core, this plugin will not be maintained anymore.
