✨ g.gui.timeline — the GRASS User's Manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is g.gui.timeline from the GRASS User's Manual, and it's genuinely one of the prettiest little tools in the whole suite, no cap. It lets you compare temporal datasets by plotting their temporal extents. That's it, that's the vibe. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

g.gui.timeline — allows comparing temporal datasets by displaying their temporal extents in a plot. literally a plot. like a graph. main character graph energy. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

g.gui.timeline
g.gui.timeline --help

🫶 Flags: the little toggle girlies 🫶

• -3 — show also 3D plot of spatio-temporal extents. it's giving depth, bestie. 🦋
• --help — print usage summary. the classic "help me help you" button. 💅
• --verbose — verbose module output. it will NOT stop yapping (affectionate). 😭
• --quiet — quiet module output. shhh era. 🤫
• --ui — force launching GUI dialog. dragging the dialog onto the stage whether it wants it or not. ✨

🍓 Parameters: the one actual input 🍓

• inputs=name[,name,...] — name of the input space time datasets. plural, babes. comma-separated. bring your whole friend group. name[,name,...]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

The Timeline Tool is a wxGUI component that lets you compare the extents of temporal datasets (strds, stvds, str3ds) in a plot. three dataset flavors, one plot, zero drama. 🧚

Supported features:

• temporal datasets with interval/point and absolute/relative time — so many time opinions, all valid 💖
• 2D plots — temporal extent
• 3D plots — spatio-temporal extent (requires matplotlib >= 1.0.0) 🌈
• pop-up annotations with basic metadata — hover and get the tea 👀

---

🦋 NOTES 🦋

g.gui.timeline requires the Python plotting library Matplotlib.

not optional, not a suggestion, not a "maybe later". no Matplotlib, no plot, no slay. install it first, queen. 💅
