Remarks

The ObservationRenderer Property provides a default set of symbology for features in a time-based layer. This default symbology can be overridden by the LatestObservationRenderer and the TrackRenderer to provide additional ways to graphically represent the features that are returned from a FeatureLayer. While it is theoretically possible to have any Renderer that Implements the IRenderer Interface be used as the ObservationRenderer Property, it typically makes sense to only use a SimpleRenderer, ClassBreaksRenderer, or UniqueValueRenderer.

The LatestObservationRenderer Property provides a default set of symbology for the last time-based feature returned per TrackIdField. If no TrackIdField has been specified then just the last observation that is returned from the FeatureLayer will be symbolized. Whatever symbology properties that have been set (for example: a Symbol’s Color, Size, and Style) for the LatestObservationRenderer will override what was set for the ObservationRenderer. While it is theoretically possible to have any Renderer that Implements the IRenderer Interface be used as the LastObservationRenderer Property, it typically makes sense to only use a SimpleRenderer, ClassBreaksRenderer, or UniqueValueRenderer.

The TrackRenderer Property provides polyline based symbology that connects markers (i.e. Points) for time-based features per TrackIdField. If no TrackIdField has been specified then all observations that are returned from the Featurelayer will be symbolized in sequential order using the polyline graphic. The polyline graphic that is drawn begins with the first temporal observation and connects-the-dots as the phenomena moves spatially through time.

The SymbolAger Property is an optional technique to modify a Symbol’s Size, Color, and Opacity for the Renderers applied to the TemporalRenderer as a feature’s time stamp adjusts. Two SymbolAger’s are supported: the RampInterpolator and the TimeClassBreaksAger. The RampInterpolator will modify the rendering of entire set of features and graduate the symbology based upon the set properties (except for the LastObservationRenderer). The TimeClassBreaksAger will modify the rendering of a specific set of defined groups based upon a range of values. If a specific group has not been defined by the TimeClassBreaksAger then the ObservationRenderer will take precedence; additionally the LastObservationRenderer takes precedence if set).

The following screen shot depicts an image of hurricane Alberto moving across the Atlantic Ocean. The black circles are defined as the movement of Alberto. The circles get larger and smaller depending on Alberto’s measured wind speed via a ClassBreaksRenderer. The red diamond is the most recent occurrence of Alberto’s movement as defined by the TimeExtent of the FeatureLayer. A TrackRenderer is used to denote the path of Alberto’s movement via a yellow solid line that connects the back circles. A SymbolAger via a RampInterpolator was used to demonstrate that as Alberto’s time observations get older, the symbology of the black circles begin to fade. The screen shot matches the code example provided in this documentation page.

Hurricane Alberto in the Atlantic Ocean.

The TemporalRenderer Class is only useful to render graphics from a FeatureLayer that has time based data explicitly specified by an ArcGIS Server web service. One way to determine if the FeatureLayer is temporally enabled is to copy the FeatureLayer.Url Property into the address bar of a web browser and then scroll through the ArcGIS Server web service description to look for for a Time Info section. See the following screen shot:

Demonstration of the Time Info section of the ArcGIS Server web service description.

Example

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
             
  <!--
  Display the FeatureLayer in Map3 that has a TemporalRenderer applied:
        
  Add an ArcGISTiledMapsServiceLayer as a background to the map. The ArcGISTiledMapsServiceLayer 
  layer is first Layer added to the Map's Layers Collection and is drawn on the bottom. A FeatureLayer 
  is then added to the Map and draws on top of the background layer.
          
  Set the Map3 Extent to zoom to the middle of the Atlantic ocean.
          
  Setting the Map's TimeExtent acts like a Where clause in that only those features/records that fall
  within the set TimeExtent will then be shown. If no Map TimeExtent is set then only the 
  ObservationRenderer is in effect. If a Map TimeExtent is set then the ObservationRenderer and the 
  TrackRenderer are in effect. In the case of this example the TimeExtent for the hurricane 
  information is shortened to a small temporal window that just covers the time extent necessary to 
  render the four hurricanes (Alberto, Isaac, Michael, and Nadine) that are returned by the service.
          
  By binding the Map3 TimeExtent to the TimeSlider3 Value, the Map3 will automatically update as the slider 
  moves.

    The FeatureLayer contains Hurricane data from NOAA as Markers (aka. Points). 
                
    The Where clause is optional. It is necessary when more that 500/1000 records returned. 
    In ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 and prior, the default maximum is 500 records returned per FeatureLayer. 
    In ArcGIS Server 10 the default is 1000. This setting is configurable per map service using 
    ArcCatalog or ArcGIS Server Manager (on the Parameters tab). 
                
    The Where clases gets only hurricane data for Alberto.
                
    Specify the Outfields Property to specify which Fields are returned on which the TemporalRenderer 
    TrackIdField can use. Specifying the wildcard (*) character will return all Fields.

        Setting the TrackIdField draws polylines in time order for a group of attributes. If the 
        TrackIdField property is not set and the TrackRenderer is used, then all point observations 
        will have a polyline connecting them in order of time. This becomes messy if multiple
        events are occurring at the same time (i.e. hurricanes) and the linework would then look like 
        a spider diagram rather than discreet tracks with one per event. In this example to speed up
        drawing time and limit the amount of data that is returned, the FeatureLayer.Where clause was 
        used to restrict only one hurricane (or event) from displaying. If the FeatureLayer.Where 
        clause was commented out, multiple hurricanes would be displayed. Having the TrackIdField 
        becomes key to keeping each event separate.
                            
        The FeatureLayer OutFields Property is set to return all the fields via the wildcard

          SymbolAger:
                                  
          The SymbolAger will override the default rendering provided by the ObservationRenderer as the
          TimeExtentProperty for the Map changes. The goal is to provide rendering to show how a phenomena 
          has changed over time.
                  
          Use a RampInterpolator as the SymbolAger. The RampInterpolator will provide an interpolation
          of up to three attributes for a symbol (Color, Opacity, and Size) between the TimeExtentProperty
          specified. You specify the From and To values for the desired attributes and the interpolation
          occurs automatically between them based upon the TimeExtent.
                  
          In this example only the Opacity attribute of the RampInterpolator is being use to show that 
          as hurricane Alberto ages (i.e. gets older) the visibility of the symbol at its historical 
          spatial location begins to fade.  Uncomment the other RampInterpolator attributes (Color and
          Size) to see how they impact the visualization. Note: by ramping the Size of the of the symbol
          of the using a RampInterpolator overrides the effect of the ClassBreaksRenderer where the 
          hurricanes "WINDSPEED" was used to define the size.
