Geographic Information Systems Asked on November 1, 2021
I have a QGIS Project with Temporal Controller, in Python Console. How could I capture the current moment of the simulation?
I’m trying, but doesn’t work
canvas = iface.mapCanvas()
temporal= canvas.temporalController().currentFrameNumber ()
I'm happy to report that this works as desired for me without a sip cast (currently testing on 3.18).
I think the desired signal is the updateTemporalRange
, not the stateChanged
signal as mentioned in @ThomasG77's answer (which still fails to connect also in my case).
This prints the current frame number in the QGIS Python console:
canvas = iface.mapCanvas()
controller = canvas.temporalController()
def f():
print(controller.currentFrameNumber())
controller.updateTemporalRange.connect(f)
Via the frame number, the .dateTimeRangeForFrameNumber
can be used to get the datetimes as well.

You can use the following considering you have QGIS 3.14+
from qgis.PyQt import sip
canvas = iface.mapCanvas()
temporalController = canvas.temporalController()
# Cast the QgsTemporalController to QgsTemporalNavigationObject or stucked
temporalNavigationObject = sip.cast(temporalController, QgsTemporalNavigationObject)
currentFrameNumber = temporalNavigationObject.currentFrameNumber()
print('Frame number', currentFrameNumber)
currentDateTimeRange = temporalNavigationObject.dateTimeRangeForFrameNumber(currentFrameNumber)
print('Current start time range', print(currentDateTimeRange.begin()))
print('Current end time range', print(currentDateTimeRange.end()))
# Experiment section as a reminder (because seems a bug in the signal connect later)
# def animation_state_changed(state):
# print("DEBUG")
# Signal does not work here when above function + below statement uncommented
# temporalNavigationObject.stateChanged.connect(animation_state_changed)
