DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this module is to compute and to show spatio-temporal relations between
space time datasets of different type. Several input space time datasets are sampled by a
sample space time dataset using temporal topological relations. The types of the input
space time datasets and the type of the sample space time dataset can be different.
This module is useful to analyze temporal relationships between space time datasets using
temporal topology. The flag -s enables a spatio-temporal topology, so that only
spatio-temporal related map layers of space time datasets are considered in the analysis.
NOTES
The temporal relation start means that the start time of an input map layer is temporally
located in an interval of a sample map layer.
The textual output at the command line shows the names of the maps, start and end time as
well as the interval length in days and the temporal distance from begin in days.
The default separator is the pipe symbol.
Temporal gaps, if present, in the input and sampling space time datasets will be used in
the sampling process. Gaps have no map name, instead None is printed.
EXAMPLE
In the examples below we create a space time raster dataset A and a space time vector
dataset P that have different temporal layouts and number of map layers. The space time
vector dataset contains a gap, that will be used in the sampling process.
We use t.sample to inspect the topological relations between the time stamped map layers
in A and P.
