.. _auto_keyvalue_get_state_from_time:

*EXTRACT THE STATE FROM TIME*
=============================

Looks up the graphic/animation state that corresponds to a given simulation time from a key-value state map. Use this worker when you need to translate a specific time value into its associated playback or visualization state index.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``animation``, ``graphic_states``, ``keyvalue``, ``lookup``, ``scalar``, ``state``, ``time``.

     - Key-value map of graphic/animation states (time-to-state pairs); leave empty to use an upstream-supplied state map.

     - Simulation time (in model time units, e.g. seconds or milliseconds) at which to look up the corresponding state; defaults to 0.
