Hi, I posted some questions, but wasn't subscribed, so only now (though David) I can reply to your replies:
> As for turning off the time labels completely, that's not supported. > Could you describe the scenario in which you want that? Both bands had too many characters on them. But I solved it by playing around with the time scale, and event size. >> - how do I program a duration that goes until the end of the timeline? >> > The timeline never ends but scrolls on forever... So I'm not sure what > you mean by making a duration that goes until the end of the timeline. it was connected with the next feature I asked for, a timeline that has an end (and maybe a beginning?). One nice idea could be to check the system date and end the timeline there. (at least for the one I'm doing, only with past events, no future ones) >> - the timeline doesn't display my name correctly - ã.

You need to set your > text editor to save your file in UTF-8 encoding. that worked. what about if a title takes more space than a duration, it remains inside the duration band? will it be possible to put several timelines over another? like one for each category, instead of coloring duration bands? (it could be done already by efficient html programming, but they wouldn't be in sync, would they?) >> - is it possible to take the infos from an xls file? >> > Not yet. We have that option in our Exhibit project but not in Timeline. > >> - I wanted to have several colors for several categories of durations. >> is >> it possible to make variables in the beginning of the xml file, and then >> call them? (I guess this has more to do with xml as with timeline) >> > That's not supported. Have you looked at Exhibit? I just found an example of exactly what I want to do. I'll analyse it, thanks. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
