Description#
ECODATA-Animate is a MATLAB® program for creating customized animated maps of animal movements. The program creates image frames that can be animated using the ECODATA-Prepare Movie Maker App. Define track visualization options and include additional layers from raster files, shapefiles, an elevation model and label lists. See ECODATA-Prepare for additional tools for preparing input data. Development is supported by MathWorks® and the NASA Earth Science Division, Ecological Forecasting Program, as part of the Room to Roam: Y2Y Wildlife Movements project.
The software is available as a standalone desktop app for Mac and Windows.
