Maybe that's just the > price. Thoughts? Other models? The first case illustrated I think is the right fit in terms of being part of the exhibit framework. From a user perspective this would act similarly to other lenses (timeline, table, maps, etc.). That said, after looking at what you've done I have the odd desire for a cold hot-dog and a warm beer, so I'm not certain I'm thinking clearly ;-) I like Stefano's point about link that to both the timeplot and the exhibit pages; it's an extremely good example. --eric > > > Interested parties can watch the wiki page below as things stabilize. > > http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Timeplot_View > > -- > Ryan Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] > MIT CSAIL Research Staff http://simile.mit.edu/ > http://people.csail.mit.edu/ryanlee/ > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general > _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
