[Marble-devel] Marble features

Hi Dennis,



Unfortunately due to client data confidentiality I can't send you the files but below is a small snippet of the code which handles the timespan:

<Placemark id="test">
<TimeSpan>
<begin>2014-04-06T01:30:00Z</begin>
<end>2014-04-06T02:30:00Z</end>
       </TimeSpan>
       <Point>
              <coordinates>4.018378, 8.548439, 0.0</coordinates>
       </Point>

</Placemark>



Thank you for clarifying the time handling.



Also if the application we developed for business use, utilised the Marble API, is there any license fees required? I know this is open source but wasn't sure if this applied to commercial use.



Thanks

Emma

we have contributed a fair amount of work lately into realizing such things. There is a Google Summer of Code project also that just started these days which will realize a related use case (animated tours). Feel free to share more details about the KML files (ideally share some samples if privacy etc. allows), I'm curious about their structure.

You can do that from our "Files" panel. In the main menu, "Settings", "Panels", "[X] Files". Among other files it will show KML files opened by you in a hierarchic view with a checkbox for each item in it to toggle whether it is visible.

If your Marble version does not have the "Panels" menu, start it with the --enableFileView option to get the "Files" panel.



Regards,

Dennis
