TerriaJS tips

• you can set autoplay to false so that time dependent layers don't start playing automatically, which is never what I want. In the old UI: https://github.com/rsignell-usgs/map/blob/rich/index.js#L241 In the new UI: Open up wwwroot/config.json and change it to look like this

{
   /* Names of init files (in wwwroot/init), without the .json extension, to load by default */
   initializationUrls: [
       "terria",
       "test"
   ],
   parameters: {
       autoPlay: false,

• You can set the initial view to be the gulf of maine https://github.com/rsignell-usgs/map/blob/rich/wwwroot/testing/nfwf.json#L15-L20

• You can change the default base map: https://github.com/rsignell-usgs/map/blob/rich/wwwroot/testing/nfwf.json#L21

• Add the domain of every data source to the proxyDomains list in config.json: https://github.com/rsignell-usgs/ehzrap/blob/master/config/config.json#L2-L27

• If the server supports CORS, then add it to the corsDomains list in the dataset specification file: https://github.com/rsignell-usgs/ehzrap/blob/master/config/config.json#L2-L27
