g.gui.timeline
g.gui.timeline --help
g.gui.timeline [-3] [inputs=name[,name,...]] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-3: Show also 3D plot of spatio-temporal extents
--help: Print usage summary
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output
--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

inputs=name[,name,...]: Name of the input space time datasets

DESCRIPTION

The Timeline Tool is a wxGUI component which allows the user to compare the extents of temporal datasets (strds, stvds, str3ds) in a plot.

Supported features:

temporal datasets with interval/point and absolute/relative time
2D plots - temporal extent
3D plots - spatio-temporal extent (matplotlib >= 1.0.0)
pop-up annotations with basic metadata

NOTES

g.gui.timeline requires the Python plotting library Matplotlib.
