Edit Tick Marks on Time Slider

NMWater — Fri, 13 May 2016 21:58:32 GMT

Hi all,

I was wondering how to just display the tick marks that correspond to the labels in the time slider?

For example, I want to put a tick mark every January of YYYY.

I'm getting a tick mark for every time interval which is every month from 1984 to 2013.

Thanks for all your help!

Francisco

Fransisco,

You can use the setTickCount method. Here is a link:

Hi Tom,

I've tried the following but I'm still getting some errors. It returns tick marks just on the first and last month of my dataset. Am I missing a parameter??

Labels is a global variable.

Thanks for all your help!

Fransisco,

setTickCount is expecting a number. Since labels is an array, you could do:

timeSlider.setTickCount(labels.length);

Thanks for all your help Tom! Unfortunately, I think some part of my labels is undefined as a console.log() is indicating.

Kindest Regards,

Francisco

You can always just use a number too.

timeSlider.setTickCount(30);
