      Animate Layers

      Intterra's Animate Layers feature displays selected sub-layers of a named layer in succession at a time interval that you can choose.

      This can useful for layers such as nowCOAST Rainfall Estimates, Fire History by decade, etc. 
      You can find this feature in three clicks:
      1. Select the layer name that you know is an animation and click on the V icon to open the layer
      2. Click on Details
      3. Click on the Gear icon

      Animate-Layers-01

      You will now see the Animate settings with the Play tab on by default. 
      1. You can then select which sub-layer you would like to start the animation (all listed below), which sub-layer you would like to use as the end of the animation, as well as the frames per second (Frames/sec) value you would like.
      2. Click Play Animation.
       Animate-Layers-02
      That's it!  
        NOTE: Be patient.  Large data sets can take a while to load and initialize.
       NOTE: The animation currently pauses with the last sublayer until the next page refresh (approx. 30 seconds)
       NOTE: If the blue stripe is very light, this means the sub-layer is activated, but not available at your current zoom level.  Zoom in so that it will display.
