Description

The TimeOffset is used to display data at a different time on the timeline.  This is for temporary purposes only.  It can be useful for comparing data sets from different time period when you need to display the two sets of data together.  For example, to visualize the growth pattern of two wild fires that happened in two different years, one of the layers can be given an offset that will cause it to appear as if the fire started at the same time as the other fire.  In this way the growth patterns can be seen together, and compared.
