Hello All,

I'm curious as to whether or not someone can tell me how to go about
reversing the direction of the date display in the dinosaur timeline.

I'm attempting to use the timeline in a non-traditional way.  I've
been tasked with creating a visualization of changes in handwriting in
a manuscript.  The manuscript would be passed around from person to
person, each making notes and adding annotations to the text.  This
means that my basic unit of measurement is the page rather than a
specific time.

The dinosaur example works incredibly well for me because it has
placed it's units in millions of years ago.  This relates well to the
concept of a page with one million years equalling one page.  I can
also use the decimal notation to indicate placement within a page (ie
there is an annotation 3/4 of the way down page 34).

My problem is that the geochrono units count down rather than up and
I'm not familiar enough with the code base to know what I have to do
to modify the direction.   I would really appreciate a bit of guidance
as I've spent a couple hours wading through the js to no avail.
Alternatively, if you could point me to an example that more closely
matches what I'm attempting to do then I would be very much indebted.

Thanks for your time.

Mike
