## DESCRIPTION

The **Timeline Tool** is a *wxGUI* component which allows the user to compare the extents of temporal datasets (strds, stvds, str3ds) in a plot.

Supported features:

- •

  temporal datasets with interval/point and absolute/relative time

- •

  2D plots - temporal extent

- •

  3D plots - spatio-temporal extent (matplotlib \>= 1.0.0)

- •

  pop-up annotations with basic metadata

## NOTES

*g.gui.timeline* requires the Python plotting library Matplotlib.

## SEE ALSO
