ITimeData Interface

Provides access to time related properties of a layer.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

The ITimeData interface is implemented by all layers that can display time-related data or respond to time-related queries. However, for a layer to properly support time, it must be configured by a user with information from the ITimeDataDisplay interface. Once this information has been configured, the UseTime property in this interface is set to true, indicating that the layer not only has the ability to display time-related data, but also has all of the information (meta-data) it needs to display time-related data.

Members

		Description
	GetFullTimeExtent	Returns the time extent for all the data in the layer.
	SupportsTime	Indicates whether the layer has any time data.
	TimeReference	Time reference for the contents of the layer.
	UseTime	Indicates whether to use the time for animation purposes.
