However, the STVDS only consist of 62 maps, given that there's no data in every week but only in those 62 weeks (summer weeks over the years). When I pass my STVDS to g.gui.animation (using the GUI or the CLI), I either get a lot of black screens for those time periods in which my STVDS has no maps or the last map with data remains there until a new map with data comes. Is there a way to only get the background raster in those periods without data, instead of the last vector with data??? As these are cases of a disease, it has no sense (and it represents something that it is not true) to keep the last point for an X period of time until new cases appear. I thought that maybe only passing the list of 62 maps (not as a time series) would suffice, but I found I cannot use '?' in the GUI for the selection, and then I have to manually click on maps with no possibility to scroll. Is it feasible to add support for the '?' or a file parameter, as in other modules, to pass a file with the list of maps? The next thing I tried was to pass the list of files with the CLI, using {{{ g.gui.animation vector=`g.list type=vector mapset=. pattern=cases_20??_??_??_* separator=comma` }}} but I get the following error: {{{ Traceback (most recent call last): File ""/home/veroandreo/software/grass-7.3.svn/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/scripts/g.gui.animation"", line 141, in main() File ""/home/veroandreo/software/grass-7.3.svn/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/scripts/g.gui.animation"", line 112, in main layer.cmd = ['d.vect', 'map={name=}'.format(name=vect.split(',')[0])] KeyError: 'name=' }}} Listing the maps, however, works as expected, and I get the corresponding list of maps.
