  • Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:11:07 -0600
> Hello. I'm trying to draw a line that moves. For example, I have 5 frames of 
> data (5 seconds) and I want to draw a line from a location on the ground to 
> an airplane in the sky. But the airplane is moving, so for each frame, the 
> line will stop at a different lat/lon/elevation. Is this possible in IDV?


Yes. Each graphical object in the IDV's drawing tool can have one or more times 
associated with it. See the section on "Draw in current time" in:
