public class TimeClassBreaksAger : System.Windows.DependencyObject, IJsonSerializable, ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Symbols.ISymbolInterpolator |
The TimeClassBreaksAger overrides the default symbology of the ObservationRenderer as the Map.TimeExtent Property of the FeatureLayer changes. Use TimeClassBreakInfo objects to define groups of temporal windows that will span across the Map.TimeExtent via TimeClassBreakInfo.MinimumAge and TimeClassBreakInfo.MaximumAge ranges. The symbol defined by the ObservationRenderer is overridden by each TimeClassBreakInfo object via:
- The ObservationRenderer's Symbol Color <== TimeClassBreakInfo.Color
- The ObservationRenderer's Symbol Size <== TimeClassBreakInfo.Size
- The ObservationRenderer's Symbol visibility <== TimeClassBreakInfo.Opacity
If the TimeClassBreakInfo Classes do not completely cover the entire Map.TimeExtent then whatever has been established as the ObservationRenderer will draw for those features.
The TimeClassBreaksAger is similar to the ClassBreaksRenderer in that groups are defined to render symbology but uses time intervals to override what was established by the ObservationRenderer.
Some may find that setting the TimeClassBreakInfo MinimumAge and MaximumAge a little counter-intuitive. The MinimumAge values are the newer temporal observations. The MaximumAge values are the older temporal observations.
Make sure that the Unit Property corresponds with the appropriate values that are set for the TimeClassBreakInfo MinimumAge and MaximumAge values.
The following screen shot depicts two hurricanes (Alberto and Debby) that cover the time period of August 3, 2000 to August 24, 2000. The image shows how the TimeClassBreaksAger can be used to age time based data associated with TemporalRenderer. The default symbol that is specified for the ObservationRenderer is a small black circle. The color and size of the symbology of the two hurricane’s movements change over the time period. For the dates August 24 to August 22 the symbol is a large white circle. For the dates August 22 to August 19 the symbol is a medium blue circle. For the dates August 19 to August 12 the symbol is a small red circle. For remainder of the dates (specifically August 12 to August 3) the ObservationRender is shown.
To help clarify how the TimeClassBreaksAger and the TimeBreakClassInfo groupings work a visual representation depicting a timeline for the code example is provided here:
