Editing Animated mapping (section)

==== Animated mapping of history ====

Animated mapping is extensively used in the construction of animated maps to depict historical events in a cartographic environment, particularly in the subdiscipline of [[Historical geographic information system]]. These were one of the first applications of such maps, documented in Waldo Tobler's 1970 paper.<ref name=Tobler1/> Today, such animations often show the land ownership/occupation of specific groups over time.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Beschizza|first=Rob|date=2015-11-30|title=Animated map shows the Civil War's front lines in 5 minutes|url=https://boingboing.net/2015/11/30/animated-map-shows-the-civil-w.html|access-date=2020-11-05|website=Boing Boing|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-05-27|title=This video beautifully illustrates the history of India from 2800 BC to 2016|url=https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/this-video-beautifully-illustrates-the-history-of-india-from-2800-bc-to-2016_-255787.html|access-date=2020-11-05|website=IndiaTimes|language=en-IN}}</ref>
