Satellite VCR

Description:

This RCO lets you view a set of satellite images with VCR-like controls. You choose which controls to include, mix-and-matching from controls such as First Image, Last Image, Start/Stop, Previous Image, Next Image, Animation Rate, etc. Of course the imagery will be most useful if it represents a time-sequence of data from a single satellite, but there are many possible applications.

The instructor must provide a target image set in a standard web format (such as .gif or .jpg).

The sample XML file provided below must be populated with appropriate data and placed in the same location as the HTML file used to access and present this RCO.
