The Space Time Cube Visualization toolset contains tools to create a space-time cube layer and visualize the variables stored in the space-time cube in 2D and 3D. Space-time cube layers can be used to visualize the cube and its structure, understand how the cube aggregation process works, and visualize patterns over time at specific locations of interest.
Note:
For an optimal visualization experience, use the Make Space Time Cube Layer tool to create a space-time cube layer. The layer displays the space-time cube data and activates a space-time cube ribbon for interactively visualizing the variables and analysis results in a 3D scene.
For example, the Visualize Space Time Cube in 2D tool can be used to show the Hot and cold spot trends results from the Emerging Hot Spot Analysis tool or the locations with data in your study area to help you understand where data is missing. The tools in this toolset can be used in conjunction with the tools in the Space Time Pattern Mining toolbox.
Note:
See Visualize the space-time cube for strategies on how to visualize the contents of a space-time cube.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
Creates a space-time cube layer from a netCDF space-time cube that was created using a tool from the Space Time Cube Creation toolset. This space-time cube layer contains a copy of all the variables and analysis results in the original space-time cube and is added to the active scene or map. | |
|
Visualizes the variables stored in a netCDF space-time cube and the results generated by the Space Time Pattern Mining tools. Output from this tool is a two-dimensional representation uniquely rendered based on the variable and theme specified. | |
|
Visualizes the variables stored in a netCDF space-time cube created with the Space Time Pattern Mining tools. Output from this tool is a three-dimensional representation uniquely rendered based on the variable and theme specified. |
