[GPlates-discuss] Time dependent rasters

[Sabin Zahirovic]

Hi Bruce,

The age information for a time dependent raster is stored in the filename – essentially the last integer in the name.

For example:
MIT-P08_Asia_UM30_LM12-0.jpg
MIT-P08_Asia_UM30_LM12-2.jpg
MIT-P08_Asia_UM30_LM12-3.jpg
MIT-P08_Asia_UM30_LM12-5.jpg
MIT-P08_Asia_UM30_LM12-6.jpg
MIT-P08_Asia_UM30_LM12-9.jpg

The age needs to be prefixed with a dash or an underscore, from memory.

Alternatively, if your rasters don’t have ages in the filename, you can load them up anyway as time-dependent rasters, and you will be greeted with a screen to enter the corresponding age values. Let me know if you get stuck…

Cheers,
Sabin

Subject: [GPlates-discuss] Time dependent rasters

Good day
  Where are the settings for ages for time dependent rasters stored? I would like to change some age values and manually add another blanks raster to as to cancel the oldest raster I have in a sequence. I can see where to put the raster itself in the gpml file but can’t find where to specify the age at which it is supposed to be visible.

Thanks
   Bruce
