Change History Slides

Open OllyJohnston opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Is it possible to add a method to show the change over time with some buttons? As in you can cycle forward and back for daily changes, a bit like you would with a weather map and see the colours change.

Would be really handy to be able to see how areas evolve over time, maybe for a rolling month or two period

This would indeed be nice, but it's not especially easy for me to implement at the moment (I think it would mean having to change the way the entire site is generated, as well as a significant amount of work on the map code).

Worth noting that the map of cases on coronavirus.data.gov.uk does have a time slider.

Thanks for the reply - Yes that's the kind of setup I was thinking, on the gov site, wasn't aware it already existed. It's a shame it doesn't have an animate button though, so you don't have to drag the slider back and forth
