Temporal renderer

Description

This sample shows how you can configure a temporal renderer to perform time-based rendering of features in a feature layer. This type of renderer is useful to visualize historic or real-time data, in this case earthquakes.

The temporal renderer allows you to define how observations and tracks are rendered. In this sample, an observation renderer is defined using a class breaks renderer. The class breaks renderer is used to define symbols by magnitude, the larger the magnitude the larger the symbol.

Next a symbol ager is defined, the ager determines how the feature's symbol changes as time progresses. The color for each symbol is modified as time progresses.
