AWFTimelineView

@interface AWFTimelineView : UIView

An AWFTimelineView is a view that provides a play/stop control, the current date and time and a scrubbable timeline slider bar for use with animatable weather data layers on an AWFWeatherMap instance.

  • The current date and time being displayed. Setting this value will automatically update the day and time labels with the specified date.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic) NSDate *currentTime;

    Swift

    var currentTime: Date! { get set }

  • The starting date and time for the animation timeline. This should correspond to the timelineStartDate property on AWFWeatherMap.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic) NSDate *startDate;

    Swift

    var startDate: Date! { get set }

  • The ending date and time for the animation timeline. This should correspond to the timelineEndDate property on AWFWeatherMap.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic) NSDate *endDate;

    Swift

    var endDate: Date! { get set }

  • The current animation position along the timeline, from 0.0 (beginning) to 1.0 (end).

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, assign, nonatomic) CGFloat position;

    Swift

    var position: CGFloat { get }

  • The timeline bar view.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) AWFTimelineBarView *barView;

    Swift

    var barView: AWFTimelineBarView! { get }

  • The circular view indicating the timeline’s current position.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) AWFTimelinePositionView *positionView;

    Swift

    var positionView: AWFTimelinePositionView! { get }

  • The play button used to start and stop an animation. If an animation is currently playing, this button will update to a stop icon instead.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) UIButton *playButton;

    Swift

    var playButton: UIButton! { get }

  • Used to update the timeline position immediately to the current date and time.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) UIButton *nowButton;

    Swift

    var nowButton: UIButton! { get }

  • Whether or not the animation and timeline are currently playing.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (getter=isPlaying, assign, readwrite, nonatomic) BOOL playing;

    Swift

    var isPlaying: Bool { get set }

  • The receiver’s delegate.

    A timeline view informs its delegates about changes to the currently selected date.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (assign, readwrite, nonatomic) id<AWFTimelineViewDelegate> delegate;

    Swift

    unowned(unsafe) var delegate: AWFTimelineViewDelegate! { get set }

  • Whether or not to display the loading indicator on the timeline view. This is used when data has to be requested from a remote source before an animation can begin playback.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)showLoading:(BOOL)loading;

    Swift

    func showLoading(_ loading: Bool)

    Parameters

    loading

    A Boolean indicating whether or not to display the loading indicator.

  • Updates the timeline loading progress position based on the download progress when requesting remote data required for the animation.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)setProgress:(CGFloat)progress animated:(BOOL)animated;

    Swift

    func setProgress(_ progress: CGFloat, animated: Bool)

    Parameters

    progress

    The download progress of animation data, from 0.0 (none) to 1.0 (complete).
    animated

    A Boolean indicating whether or not the update should be animated.

  • Updates the timeline’s position indicator view to the current date and time along the timeline.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (void)updatePositionForCurrentTime;

    Swift

    func updatePositionForCurrentTime()
