Time Series

Overview

In Analysis tools panel, select Time Series. In Time Series tab, all time-series data imported by user on the main map screen are graphed as a two-axis (XY) plot. User can change display range, zoom in and out, and interactively check the displayed numerical value, etc. simply by a mouse operation.

Click the Datasource button on the upper left corner of the screen and select data to be plotted. To select multiple checkboxes at once, click the first checkbox, hold down the [Shift] key, and then click the last checkbox to select all checkboxes in between.

Time Series supports visualizing time-series data as a 2-y-axis plot. To select data to display for the second y-axis, select location(s) and then check the option "2ND Y-AXIS".

MIN is the minimum value, Q1 is the first quartile, MED is the median, Q3 is the third quartile, MAX is the maximum value, and STD is the standard deviation.

These summary statistics are recalculated and updated for every display period set in the time player.

Depending on the time play mode selected in the menu on the bottom right corner of the time player, the displayed time transition from the start date to the end date of time-series data as an animation may be different for each mode.

• Single Mode: this is the default mode, in which there is no limit to the display period length
• Range Mode: the display period length is fixed, even when user plays the time transition
• Addition Mode: the display period length is extended as user plays the time transition

You can visually inspect the plotted data by scaling the chart using the mouse cursor or the chart toolbar. To show the chart toolbar, hover the mouse cursor over the chart area.

You can choose to save the plotted graph as an HTML, image, or CSV file by clicking the Download button on the upper right corner of the screen.
