Configuration: Animations

Note: Below, you have to replace the x by the corresponding map number.

Animations in the archives

  • $_BO['mapimg'][x]['animation']['force'] = false;Forces the output of an animation. A static map can not be selected.
  • $_BO['mapimg'][x]['animation']['range'] = 60;Time-range in minutes before time of the map, in which strikes should be displayed.
  • $_BO['mapimg'][x]['animation']['interval'] = 30;Interval in minutes between two frames.
  • $_BO['mapimg'][x]['animation']['default_range'] = 12;Standard time-range in hours for the selection fields in the archive.
  • $_BO['mapimg'][x]['animation']['delay'] = 500;Delay between two images (Milliseconds)
  • $_BO['mapimg'][x]['animation']['delay_end'] = 1000;Pause at the end of the animation (Milliseconds)
  • $_BO['mapimg'][x]['animation']['transparent'] = true;Use transparency.

GIF animations

To view a GIF animation the URL has to be accessed directly . For that, call …/blitzortung.php?animation=MAPID in the browser. The animation can be integrated into the website as a normal image.

Note: Creating the animation can take longer when strike count gets higher. Only the current lightning activity can be displayed.
