Class: TemporalRenderer
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
dojo.require("esri.renderer.TemporalRenderer")
Description
(Added at v2.0)
Temporal renderers provide time-based rendering of features in a feature layer. It can be useful to visualize historic or real-time data such as earthquake or hurricane occurrences. You can use a temporal renderer to define how observations (regular, historic, latest) and tracks are rendered. You can also show aging of features with respect to the map's time extent.
More information on working with rendering, smart mapping, and using visual variables can be found in the Data Visualization guide topic and the multiple samples referenced within this topic.Samples

Constructor Details
new esri.renderer.TemporalRenderer(observationRenderer, latestObservationRenderer?, trackRenderer?, observationAger?)
Creates a new TemporalRenderer object that can be used with a time-aware feature layer.
Parameters:
< |
Required | Renderer for regular/historic observations. |
< |
Optional | Renderer for the most current observations. In the snippet below RouteID is the field that contains the trackID for the feature layer this is used to display the latest observation for the specified tracks.
require([
"esri/renderers/UniqueValueRenderer", "esri/symbols/PictureMarkerSymbol", ...
], function(UniqueValueRenderer, PictureMarkerSymbol, ... ) {
var latestObservationRenderer = new UniqueValueRenderer(defaultSymbol, "RouteID");
latestObservationRenderer.addValue(1,new PictureMarkerSymbol('images/runnergreen.png',20,20));
latestObservationRenderer.addValue(2,new PictureMarkerSymbol('images/runnerblue.png',20,20));
latestObservationRenderer.addValue(3,new PictureMarkerSymbol('images/runnerred.png',20,20));
...
});
|
< |
Optional | Renderer for the tracks. A track is a collection of events that share a common track ID. A track line is a graphic line that connects the observations. Applicable only for feature layers with a valid trackIdField.
require([
"esri/renderers/SimpleRenderer", ...
], function(SimpleRenderer, ... ) {
var trackRenderer = new SimpleRenderer(myLineSymbol);
...
});
|
< |
Optional | Symbol ager for regular observations.
require([
"esri/renderers/TimeClassBreaksAger", "esri/Color", ...
], function(TimeClassBreaksAger, Color, ... ) {
var infos = [
{
minAge: 0,
maxAge: 1,
color: new Color([255, 0, 0])
},
{
minAge: 1,
maxAge: 5,
color: new Color([255, 153, 0])
},
{
minAge: 5,
maxAge: 10,
color: new Color([255, 204, 0])
},
{
minAge: 10,
maxAge: Infinity,
color: new Color([0, 0, 0, 0])
}
];
var ager = new TimeClassBreaksAger(infos, TimeClassBreaksAger.UNIT_MINUTES);
...
});

Sample:
var renderer = new esri.renderer.TemporalRenderer(observationRenderer, null, null, ager);
