I have a use case where I'd like to animate WMS tiles over time. Each tile represents data density over a time span (day, week, etc) and I'd like to flip through them so users can see patterns in the data over time.
I've tried two things so far, but both result in a disruptive flicker when the tiles change:
* Recreating the layer with the new WMS params (requesting a different time range on each animation frame).
* Using a custom ImageryProvider so requestImage will use the correct WMS params, and toggling ImageryLayer.show to false then back to true to wipe the tile cache.
I saw an old thread that suggested loading separate layers for each set of tiles and flipping the alpha to show/hide the tiles, but I'd prefer to use a single layer for each source if possible. Do you guys have any suggestions?
