Methods 3

project milestones

let's talk in small groups

similar to last time,

show what you have so far
talk about what's going well
talk about roadblocks

plan on sharing some progress a groupmate has made and one of their next steps

temporal controller

show features from a layer only at the time that they appear

first, open the temporal controller panel

then, set a layer's temporal properties

this can work with any kind of feature (points, lines, polygons)

all you need is a field with the start date and time

in-class exercise

more information about temporal controller

source

but Carto can only animate points

source

it's possible to animate lines with some work

source

start with a series of lines with dates

densify to add more nodes to the lines

turn the densified nodes into points

3D in QGIS

in-class exercise

what if I wanted to put this online without using Carto?

qgis2web

creates a webmap out of a QGIS map

it outputs a folder of code that creates the webmap

you can upload these files (drag-and-drop) to a site like neocities

source

you'll need:

latitude and longitude for each feature

source

you'll also need:

an API key from google (requires a credit card)

source
