- It is recommended to use the Heat Overlay Wizard to generate and edit the dates.
- * The sun altitude and sun azimuth are (re)calculated automatically based on the project world location and the date, when the dates of the overlay are modified via the Heat Overlay configuration wizard. They are not automatically recalculated when the dates attribute of the Heat Overlay is modified directly.
- The dates are stored as doubles but interpreted as longs, with the value in milliseconds. This is known as a timestamp.
