Method Detail

createData

TemporalOMGraphicList createData(EventLayer callback)

Read the data files and construct the TemporalOMGraphics. There are four things you need to do in this method.

• Create an TemporalOMGraphicList, add TemporalOMGraphics, return it.
• Set a new TimeBounds object on the callback EventLayer when all the timestamp range is known.
• Add OMEvents to the callback.events list, one for each TemporalPoint created.
• Add locations to callback's DataBounds (callback.getDataBounds()).
