[QGIS-Developer] How to get animation_datetime()

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Nyall,

hm - but @animation_start_time and @animation_end_time seems not to be 
moving along with the time slider. That remains "static" during the 
animation.

Based on your feedback I was expecting @animation_start_time and 
@animation_end_time to move along with the time slider - this doesn't 
seem the case.

Anyway - with second(@frame_duration) * @frame_number

and this is also a single point in time, relative to the beginning of 
the animation, not a "range" slice.

I get what I want (the current time representation value of the time 
slider). I just thought there might be something "easier".

I might not get the full concept of the new temporal framework - I have 
also to admit, that I didn't really use the TimeManager plugin a lot - 
maybe with this background, things would have been clearer to me.

Thanks,

Andreas
