NAME
t.snap - Snaps temporally the maps of a space time dataset.
KEYWORDS
temporal, time management, snapping, time
SYNOPSIS
t.snap
t.snap --help
t.snap input=name [type=name] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of an existing space time dataset
type=name
Type of the input space time dataset
Options: strds, stvds, str3ds
Default: strds
DESCRIPTION
t.snap is designed to convert time instances of maps into time intervals or to create valid temporal
topologies for space time datasets. Raster, 3D raster and vector space time datasets are supported with
absolute and relative time.
This module "snaps" the end time of each registered map of a space time dataset to the start time of the
map that is the temporal nearest neighbour in the future. Maps with equal time stamps are not modified
and must be removed or modified to create a valid temporal topology. In case the last map in the space
time dataset is a time instance, the granularity of the space time dataset will be used to create the
time interval.
EXAMPLE
A raster space time dataset will be create using precipitation maps for 2012 then using absolute time in
a space time raster dataset using an increment of one month. At the end we snap the created time
instances resulting in time intervals.
