<pulse> The <pulse> tag specifies animation settings for a <map>. It can only be used within a <map> tag.

Attributes attribute default description interval "60" (alternative to syncTo) The time interval between successive animation frames, in seconds. Works best with data sets such as Mesonet, that have regular intervals between frames. syncTo none (alternative to rate) The 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. Works best with data sets such as NIDS data, that have irregular intervals between frames. duration "3600" The total time between the first and last frames of the animation series. rate "30" The frame rate at which the animation is played, in 60ths of a second.

Children None.

Examples <map> <pulse interval="900" duration="21600" rate="60"/> <!-- 15 minutes between frames, 6 hours between first and last frames, 1 frame per second. --> </map> <map> <pulse rate="1"/> <!-- Default to 1 minute between frames and 1 hour start to finish. Display 60 frames per second, assuming the CPU is fast enough. --> </map> <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>
