SIMILE Team, I'm currently working with professor Stephen Jacobs at RIT on a project that will detail the origins of motion capture in an attempt to spur more innovation through understanding the methods of creating previous innovations. The Timeline and Exhibit tools seem to be quite useful for this application. After brainstorming about the best way to convey this information however, I feel a tree diagram/ timeline of predecessors and descendents would be ideal. I am not terribly familiar with the Timeline API as there's a lot to sift through, but hoped you would be able to shed light on the amount of work it would take to repurpose Timeline to do this.
As of now the functionality I'm looking at here is to have three kinds of connections: a weak link, medium link, and strong link (as to more accurately portray the sources of innovations). All of these essentially different colored lines connecting the events on a Timeline. I'm assuming from what I have seen exhibit do that if timeline could be repurposed to do this, that a user could dynamically change the timeline to show only the predecessors and decendants of a certain innovation. I appreciate any help or information you can give me. -Adam Butterworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
