Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2004 4:29 pm Post subject: automatic animated template generator

An animation template page of maps and timeseries can be created by using this PHP-based / MapServer-based script below.

Code:

http://nautilus.baruch.sc.edu/seacoos_misc/mk_anim_template.phtml

A working example can be found here: http://nautilus.baruch.sc.edu/~cpurvis/template_demo.

Parameters below

Important reference: Many of the map parameters below as well as available layer names can be found here: http://caro-coops.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=311&highlight=.

Note that the time to generate ALL the animations cannot exceed our timeout period of 10 minutes. I plan to use a ticket approach such that an animation template request is submitted, it is processed, and you are emailed w/ the final result.

time for ALL (free format, e.g. 2004-10-01 14:00:00)

Code:

time_zone
time_stamp_start
time_stamp_end

animation time for ALL

Code:

anim_interval_hours
-- (how many hours does each frame represent, i.e. by how many hours does an animation jump from frame to frame)

units for ALL

Code:

degree_units
velocity_units

general for ALL

Code:

base_title
-- (title for whole page)
maps_titles
-- (comma-separated titles for each map)
timeseries_titles
-- (comma-separated titles for each timeseries)

map display

Code:

use_scale
extents
size
seacoos_credit_offsets
legend_offsets
scalebar_units
scalebar_pixel_width
scalebar_position
anim_label_base
anim_label_num_dashes
maps_layer_list
-- (comma-separated layer names for each map but each GROUP of layers is separated from the next GROUP by a pipe)

timeseries display

Code:

timeseries_time_stamp_buffer_hours
-- (how many hours to show to the left of the red "now" dot)
timeseries_snapshot_window_hours
-- (how many hours does a single timeseries snapshot represent)
timeseries_layer_list (pipe-separated layer name for each timeseries)
-- currently we have sst_obs, wind_obs, and normalized_wind_obs available
timeseries_id_list
-- (pipe-separated list of station_id's for each timeseries)
-- find a staion_id via the interactive map
