  • How do I read Time Tagged Data from a File and display a Number?

    Posted by Rob Christian on November 3, 2005 at 6:17 pm

    I am constructing an animation of a next generation Mars orbiter and would
    like to display the Spacecraft altitude on the screen as a function of
    time. I have this information in a time tagged file.

    It sounds like you need a script to read and parse the file. Is it a text file?

    Yes it is text…but I could possibly express the data as a polynomial if there was a way to enter it in to affter effects…maybe that would be much simpler…

    I think that would definitely be easier – if you can express the altitude as a function of time.
