How to make a dynamic animated movement for the graphics on the map?

weiliang — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:28:42 GMT

Hi,

I have some point graphics in one graphicLayer on the map and I want to move their positions to the new places every 5 seconds based on some criteria. Also on the map, these point graphics' movement can be visualized dynamically.

How should I do that? It seems the map won't update until the graphics' last movement were finished. Should I create a new thread to fulfill this dynamic visualization or there is any other trick?

Thanks,

Wei

Have you looked at the Time-Aware Layers-section in the Interactive SDK?
If not, have a look at this:

Thanks for your answer, Johan. But I think this Time-Aware layer, which retrieves the existing route from map service, can't fulfill my requirement. What I want is dynamically calculate the graphics positions for each time-step and visualize them on the map.

Best,
