Comments on: New "Animation" Style http://jeffhobbs.net/2007/07/05/new-animation-style/ "A picture is only worth a thousand words. A map may be worth a thousand numbers. But a GIS is worth a thousand tables."

Construction / Maintenance sites (where water pipes/valves are being worked on)

The animation can be set based on a true/false of another attribute.
(road open=true/false if true do nothing, if false then blink or whatever you want the animation to be.

A manager or executive wants to see what’s going on, open map (could be web based) and there it is. All the detours, construction/maint. Etc.

I’ve got a possible use for it – We’ve got a Civil Defence exercise coming up and with the temporal aspect and the ability to build in expressions it could be very useful in managing some of the incidences or resources.
