Both happen when I pick a set of points that spans less years. They need to be considered separately. Switching the axes seems to be a bit like rezooming a google map when the set of points changes. Probably rather disruptive of context if, e.g., i've got my finger on a spot on the screen.
I like davidh's idea of highlighting points but I think that erasing points has its place too. perhaps the effect should be choosable using another attribute in the facet. > I'm also getting lots (thousands) of errors in Firebug: > plot._dataSource has no properties, timeplot_bundle.js (line 533) > var v = plot._dataSource.getValue(t); > But I think you've mentioned these before. > > David > > Ryan Lee wrote: > >> I've added a Timelot extension for Exhibit, much like the Timeline and >> mapping extensions currently in use.
