Full description of the API can be found via this link.Īs our sample data is neatly in a csv file, we can add it to QGIS by clicking the comma symbol on your QGIS left sidebar. If you want to get your own data from the API, you can use my Python script.

You can download sample data for this tutorial here. It’s a similar dataset as I used in the example shown earlier in this blog post. An API offering that data was recently opened in Finland so I had to test it out immediately. In this tutorial I am using a dataset with train GPS locations and speeds. Note that you can also write your own text in that text box, like “Train movement in Finland %H:%M” Let’s make a geogif already! Like you can see in my example in the beginning of this tutorial, I used a different font, increased the font size, displayed only %H:%M and placed it NE of the frame. From Time display options you can adjust in what way time is shown on the animation. But it’s good to note that this doesn’t affect your final animation, but only the animation shown in QGIS if you browse your data there. Secondly the Show frame for option allows you to change for how long a frame is shown in QGIS. That allows you to add data for Time Manager to use, once you have the data added to your QGIS project. To highlight few important parts from the settings dialog, on the top right you can see the Add layer button. It might look a bit confusing at first look, but fear not! It’s eventually super simple. Time Manager dock widget should appear on the bottom of your QGIS canvas. Once you have it installed, you can open it up from same tab.

Like all the other plugins in QGIS, you can install the Time Manager from the Plugins tab on your QGIS main window.
#GIFSICLE IN GIMP HOW TO#
I’m not going to go in to more detail on how to modify your data, but a general guideline is that if your data doesn’t work immediately with Time Manager, your date format is wrong, or you have some features with missing attributes. You can do this with Notepad++, Excel, QGIS Table Manager, SQL or whatever is the most comfortable tool for you to use. If your data doesn’t use one of the accepted formats listed earlier, you have to modify the data by hand. Neither does American 5pm work as a time format. Also if you have data from several years, note that simple 2015 doesn’t work as your time value, but you have to modify it to something else, like 2015–01–01. That seems like a lot of time formats! But it is important to note that in your data they have to be exactly like one of those formats and every feature has to have a value in their time column for the animation to work properly.įor example in Finland it’s typical to write dates in the format D.M.YYYY if the day and month are single digit numbers. Timestamps have to be in one of the following formats: Time Manager filters your vector datasets and displays only features with timestamps in the user specified time frame. A dock widget provides a time slider and a configuration dialog for your layers to manage. The aim of Time Manager plugin for QGIS is to provide comfortable browsing through temporal geodata. The QGIS Time Manager Help dialog opens up the following text: Let’s get started! About dates (not the fruit) and times You can read more about the plugin and different use cases here or here and if you find this tutorial long and complicated, you can always check YouTube, where you can find a few good Time Manager tutorials.Īssumptions I am making in this tutorial are that you have QGIS installed on your computer and some prior knowledge in using it (adding layers, changing styles and working with projections). 5 hours of train GPS points in Finland.įirst of all, huge thanks goes to Anita Graser and others who have been actively developing the great plugin.
