Time format for dynamic range

Post by monarchi » 23 Mar 2014 20:10

Hello -

I have an undirected graph of ~400 nodes with the edges representing connections between the nodes on a per year basis. I have successfully been able to make it a dynamic graph, apply rankings, and set up filters. But I don't understand the time format that the Dynamic Range filter is showing. My filter is
Queries
Degree Range
Dynamic Range

In the Dynamic Range filter, the parameter is range: 3.155616E11 - 3.4755947663551404E11. I believe the time format is what is referred to as Unix time or Posix time, the number of seconds since 1/1/1970, except that here it is the number of milliseconds.

All of my time formats are set up as mm/dd/yyyy. The difference between the two numbers above is the number of milliseconds in a year, which is the interval I'm using.

Is there any way to simply show this in a conventional date format? My initial interval is Start: 1980-01-01 End: 1980-12-31, yet it is shown in the filter in the format above.

Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice.

Best,
David

Hi,

If that is the way the time is represented in filters, I think there is no alternative.
However, the dynamic range filter is representing exactly what the timeline shows (if I am not mistaken). So you could change the interval in the timeline, by open the parameter window at the very left (next to the play button). Here, you have the possibility to set precisely, and in the forms of a data I think, the boundaries of your time interval.
Again I am not 100% sure but this should reflect in the dynamic range filter?

Best,

Clement

Hi Clement -

The timeline is shown in years, 1980 - 2010, and the timeline interval is 1980-01-01 -- 2010-12-31. The beginning boundary is 1980-01-01 -- 1980-12-31. Yet the filter shows time in the millisecond format I described. If you convert everything, the numbers are correct, but it's a real nuisance to have it shown that way. I suspect that there is a disconnect somewhere between the timeline information and the filter. And, for what it's worth, my data are in the mm/dd/yyyy format.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this. I don't know where to look to fix this, nor if it can be fixed.

Thanks.

David
