Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the TimestampedGeoJson implementation and its generated JavaScript, then determine how the time-lapse date is exposed to the visualization. Done means users can place the changing year in a separate custom legend container.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

I have not see a way to customize the API somehow to be able to add a custom label or container that can hold a part of the date(e.g. Year) as the time-lapse is playing. The year will update from 2017 to 2018 as the visualization is playing.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Being able to extract the year into its own container on the final time-lapse visualization.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

I did some research into the API and did not see a solution. I am not sure if there is an underlying solution using JavaScript from python.
