API

L.Map

This plugin will attach to a Map a TimeDimension object and a related TimeDimension Control if timeDimension and timeDimensionControl options are included.

Option Type Default Description
timeDimension Boolean false Automatically creates a new TimeDimension object linked to the map if set to true.
timeDimensionOptions Object {} Options for the TimeDimension object.
timeDimensionControl Boolean false Automatically adds a TimeDimension Control to the map if set to true.
timeDimensionControlOptions Object {} Options for the TimeDimension Control object.

L.TimeDimension

TimeDimension object manages the time component of a layer. It can be shared among different layers and it can be added to a map, and become the default timedimension component for any layer added to the map.

In order to include a TimeDimension in the map, add timeDimension: true as an option when creating the map.

Usage example

L.timeDimension().addTo(map);

Creation

Factory Description
L.timeDimension(<Object> options?)

Options

This options can be set up when creating the map with the option timeDimensionOptions.

Option Type Default Description
times Number null It can be: a) An array of times (in milliseconds). b) String of dates separated by commas. c) String formed by start date/end date/period. If null, it will be constructed according to timeInterval and period
timeInterval String "P1M/" + today String to construct the first available time and the last available time. Format: ISO8601 Time inverval
period String "P1D" Used to construct the array of available times starting from the first available time. Format: ISO8601 Duration
validTimeRange String undefined Filter the array of available times by start hour and end hour (for any date). Format "HH:MM/HH:MM".
currentTime Number Closest available time Current time to be loaded. Time in ms.

L.TimeDimension.Layer

TimeDimension.Layer is an abstract Layer that can be managed/synchronized with a TimeDimension. The constructor recieves a layer (of any kind) and options.

Any children class should implement _onNewTimeLoading, isReady and _update functions to react to time changes.

Options

Option Type Default Description
timeDimension <L.TimeDimension> null TimeDimension object which will manage this layer. If it is not defined, the map TimeDimension will be attached when adding this layer to the map.
opacity Number 1
zIndex Number 1

Events

Event Data Description
timeload time Fires when a the layer has been loaded/prepared for a new time

L.TimeDimension.Layer.WMS

Implements a TimeDimension Layer for a given WMS layer, which can be a L.TileLayer.WMS or a L.NonTiledLayer.WMS.

This component synchronizes the WMS with a TimeDimension, modifying the time parameter in the WMS requests.

Usage example

L.timeDimension.layer.wms(layer).addTo(map);

Creation

Factory Description
L.timeDimension.layer.wms(<L.Layer> layer, <Object> options?)

Options

Option Type Default Description
cache Number 0
cacheBackward Number cache or 0 Number of layers that can be kept hidden on the map for previous times
cacheForward Number cache or 0 Number of layers that can be kept hidden on the map for future times
updateTimeDimension Boolean false Update the list of available times of the attached TimeDimension with the available times obtained by getCapabilities
updateTimeDimensionMode String "intersect" Operation to merge the available times of the TimeDimension and the layer (intersect, union, replace or extremes). See Update modes
requestTimeFromCapabilities Boolean false Get list of available times for this layer from getCapabilities
proxy String null URL of the proxy used to obtain getCapabilities responses from the WMS server avoiding cross site origin problems
getCapabilitiesParams Object {} Extra parameters needed to create getCapabilities request
getCapabilitiesUrl String null Alternative URL for the GetCapabilities request (useful if using a cache service like GeoWebCache)
getCapabilitiesLayerName String null Alternative layer name for the GetCapabilities request (useful if using a cache service like GeoWebCache)
setDefaultTime Boolean false If true, it will change the current time to the default time of the layer (according to getCapabilities)
period String null Duration between times that will be used to generate the available times of the layer from a time interval. It overwrites the value received in getCapabilities (if not null). Format: ISO8601 Duration
wmsVersion String layer.options.version or "1.1.1" WMS version of the layer. Used to construct the getCapabilities request

L.TimeDimension.Layer.GeoJSON

Manages a GeoJSON layer with a TimeDimension. According to GeoJSON specification, geometry coordinates can have only three dimensions: latitude, longitude and elevation. There isn't a standard way to add time dimension information. This plugin will search for some attributes inside properties:

  • coordTimes, times or linestringTimestamps: array of times that can be associated with a geometry (datestrings or ms). In the case of a LineString, it must have as many items as coordinates in the LineString. (Note: coordTimes is the name of the property recently included at Mapbox toGeoJSON library)
  • time: time of the feature

This component will create and show new GeoJSON layers which include only those features (or part of them) that are active for the time of the TimeDimension (according to a duration option). These new layers will inherit the baseLayer options. In the case of LineStrings, if addlastPoint option is enabled, a Point feature will be added with the property last (that can be used to customize the marker of this special Point).

Usage example

L.timeDimension.layer.geoJson(layer).addTo(map);

Creation

Factory Description
L.timeDimension.layer.geoJson(<L.Layer> layer, <Object> options?)

Options

Option Type Default Description
duration String null Period of time which the features will be shown on the map after their time has passed. If null, all previous times will be shown. Format: ISO8601 Duration
addlastPoint Boolean false Add a Point at the last valid coordinate of a LineString.
waitForReady Boolean false If true, it will wait until the baseLayer is loaded to mark itself as ready. You can use it with layers created using leaflet-omnivore.
updateTimeDimension Boolean false Update the list of available times of the attached TimeDimension with the available times of this GeoJSON
updateTimeDimensionMode String "extremes" Operation to merge the available times of the TimeDimension and the layer (intersect, union, replace or extremes)
updateCurrentTime Boolean updateTimeDimension Automatically change the current time of map to the first available time of the GeoJSON layer.

TimeDimension update modes

Update mode can be one of these values: intersect, union, replace, extremes.

  • replace It replaces available times with only the new ones (from layer or setAvailableTimes).
  • union It adds new times and merge them to existing ones.
  • intersect It keeps only the time shared in both existing and new ones.
  • extremes It can recompute periodic times according to options.period and extreme values of the set.
