✨ g.gui.timeline ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the GRASS GIS User's Manual 💖 this one lives in g.gui.timeline(1) and it's literally the cutest way to compare your temporal datasets by plotting their temporal extents. yes. plotting. extents. we're doing this. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

g.gui.timeline — lets you compare temporal datasets by displaying their temporal extents in a plot. no cap, that's the whole job. 👑

🎀 KEYWORDS 🎀

general, GUI, temporal, plot — the four horsemen, the vibe check, the it-girls of this module. 💅

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

g.gui.timeline
g.gui.timeline --help
g.gui.timeline [-3] [inputs=name[,name,...]] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

🌈 Flags 🌈

  • -3 — also show a 3D plot of spatio-temporal extents. we love an extra dimension, main character energy fr fr ✨
  • --help — prints the usage summary. when in doubt, ask the module, she always answers 💜
  • --verbose — verbose module output. she's gonna tell you EVERYTHING 🗣️
  • --quiet — quiet module output. she's gonna tell you nothing. silence, iconic 😌
  • --ui — force launching the GUI dialog. drags the window out whether it wanted to come or not 💅

🍓 Parameters 🍓

  • inputs=name[,name,...] — name of the input space time datasets. that's a list, comma-separated, so bring all your faves 🧚

🌟 DESCRIPTION 🌟

The Timeline Tool is a wxGUI component and it lets you compare the extents of temporal datasets — and by temporal datasets we mean strds, stvds, and str3ds — in a plot. yes bestie, all three flavors. 🍦

Supported features (aka the serve):

  • temporal datasets with interval/point and absolute/relative time ⏳
  • 2D plots — temporal extent 🎀
  • 3D plots — spatio-temporal extent (matplotlib >= 1.0.0) 🧊
  • pop-up annotations with basic metadata 🔍

⚠️ NOTES ⚠️

g.gui.timeline requires the Python plotting library Matplotlib. no Matplotlib, no plot, no party. install it, periodt. 😭
