NVG 2.0 data can contain domain objects with a time range. The NVG model offers support for easily filtering domain objects based on a time value.

Usually the end users of an application decide which particular elements they are interested in, by making a selection in the graphical interface. In such a case, the users configure the filter through a GUI selection widget. The NVG sample includes a filter UI called FilterManagerUI for this purpose. The panel retrieves the set of points in time from the TLcdNVG20FilteredModel. You can see how this is done in Program: Retrieving the timing information of an NVG model for a filter GUI..

ILcdMultiDimensionalModel filteredModel = (ILcdMultiDimensionalModel) model;
List<? extends ILcdDimension<?>> dimensions = filteredModel.getDimensions();
if (dimensions != null) {
  for (ILcdDimension dimension : dimensions) {
    if (shouldHandleDimensionAxis(dimension)) {
      DimensionalFilter dimensionalFilter = createFilter(aLayered, aLayer, dimension);
      dimensionalFilters.add(dimensionalFilter);
    }

}
