The Time Series Player is the main visualisation tool for the time dimension introduced by the Time Series Tool. It is opened by clicking on ts-player-button and displayed in Screenshot 1.

Screenshot 1 - The Time Series Player

The Time Series Player allows vividly visualising a time series by providing the control elements for navigating through a time series, either manually or automatically. The slider may be dragged, or automatic playback of the Time Series is started by clicking on play , paused by clicking on pause (visible only when playback is performed), and stopped by clicking on stop . The playback automatically re-starts from the beginning if repeat is selected. With the blending feature enabled (by clicking on blend ), the transitions from one image to the next are smoothed. The playback- speed may be specified by using the small slider next to the blending-button.

For further analysis of the Time Series, it may be exported as an animated GIF using export . Before the export is started, the resolution level to export may be specified; level 0 means that all data are exported, while higher levels mean higher degrees of interpolation (and, thus, smaller resulting GIFs).
