Graphics TimeComponents (Vehicles)
Control the display of different graphics attributes for specific time components during animation
Syntax
Graphics <ObjectPath> TimeComponents {Action} [<Parameters>]
Description
The Graphics TimeComponents command allows you to control graphics during the times specified by time components.
Before changes made using this command will take effect, you must issue the Graphics SetAttrType (Vehicles) command with the TimeComponents option.
To learn how to specify a "<TimeComponent>" see Component Specification.
Valid values for {Action} and <Parameters> can be:
| {Action} | <Parameters> | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clear | N/A | Removes all display intervals from the time component list. |
| Add | "<TimeComponent>" [{AttributeOption} {Action}] | Adds the intervals from the specified Interval or Interval List "<TimeComponent>" to the existing interval list. If Graphics SetAttrIntervals is set to TimeComponents, object graphics only appear during the intervals set using this command. |
| Edit | [{EditAction} | "<TimeComponent>"] [IntervalList <ListName>] {AttributesOption} {Action} | {EditAction} can be All, Default or AllComponents. If you don't specify an {EditAction}, you must specify a "<TimeComponent>". If {EditAction} is All, all intervals, including the default interval, will be modified. If {EditAction} is AllComponents, all intervals except the default interval will be modified. If {EditAction} is Default, the baseline graphics attributes will be modified. For all options, you must specify at least one {AttributeOption} {Action} pair. [IntervalList <ListName>] This option is valid only if a Collection of Interval Lists "<TimeComponent>" is entered. This can be entered to specify an interval list within the Collection whose attributes are to be modified. If this option is not included then all interval lists in the Collection will be modified. There are two options only available when a component specified is a collection of interval lists: Color Ramp and UseColorRamp. |
| Remove | "<TimeComponent>" | The specified "<TimeComponent>" will be removed. |
| Priority | {Increase | Decrease | Top | Bottom | Set <Num>} "<TimeComponent>" | Update the graphics priority of the specified "<TimeComponent>".
Increase or Decrease will move the priority of the component up or down by 1. Use Set <Num> to set a specific priority. <Num> must be >= 1; if <Num> is greater than the Component list length it will move the Component to the end of the list. When components are added all have priority 1. The TimeComponents Priority command will reset all priorities based on the command input. Refer to the Graphics_R TimeComponents command to get current priority settings. |
| ColorRamp | {startColor | endColor} | Define the start and stop color for the color ramp. For valid {Color} options, see Common Options. |
| UseColorRamp | On | Off | Turns on or off the use of color ramps. |
Refer to the Graphics Basic (Vehicles) command for a list of valid {AttributeOption} {Action} pairs.
