Configuration - NHLStenden-ISAL/Trajectory-Hotspots-Visualization GitHub Wiki

This page explains how to configure the tool.

If you haven't installed the tool yet, check out the Installation Guide.

Config.txt

The configuration file is a simple text file with the following layout:

Name	File	Delimiter-XY	Delimiter-Points	Algorithm	Length/Radius	(Optional) Header
Bird-Migration-Trajectory	C:/mydata/trajectory1.txt	,	;	Contiguous Fixed-Length	1
Car-Trajectory	C:/mydata/trajectory2.txt	,	Space	Contiguous Fixed-Length	2	5
Whale-Trajectory	C:/mydata/trajectory3.txt	,	Newline	Contiguous Fixed-Length	6

The file should look like this:

Bird-Migration-Trajectory C:/mydata/trajectory1.txt , ; get_hotspot_fixed_length_contiguous 1
Car-Trajectory C:/mydata/trajectory2.txt ,   get_hotspot_fixed_length_contiguous 2 5
Whale-Trajectory C:/mydata/trajectory3.txt , N get_hotspot_fixed_length_contiguous 6

Note the spaces between the values, these are required.

The trajectory files look like this:

C:/mydata/trajectory1.txt

1,2;3,4;5,6;7,8;9,10

C:/mydata/trajectory2.txt

(1) this is a header with 
(2) useless 
(3) information
(4) unlike how awesome you are
(5) and you deserve happiness, don't give up!
1,2 3,4 5,6 7,8 9,10

C:/mydata/trajectory3.txt

1,2
3,4
5,6
7,8
9,10

---

When using a newline as delimiter use N as delimiter. like shown in the example above. Space is no different just use a space.

---

Paths can also be local from the .exe. e.g: examples/trajectory1.txt.

This means that the config file can be anywhere.
