syncTo

The syncTo attribute specifies a product id with which to synchronize animation frames. This attribute may be used as an alternative to the rate attribute when animation frames should be based on a particular data set instead of a fixed time interval.

Supporting Tags

The syncTo attribute is supported by the <pulse> tag. By default, the <pulse> tag assumes a fixed time interval between frames.

Examples

<map>
  <pulse syncTo="ktlxbref" duration="3600" rate="60"/>
  <!-- Default to frame intervals of the data set
    specified in the nids product below. -->
  <nids id="ktlxbref">
    <data src="ktlxbrefseries.nda"/>
  </nids>
</map>

Notes

The syncTo attribute is primarily used for animating data sets such as NIDS data, which do not have a fixed time interval between frames.
