Re: [Simile-Widgets] Is it possible to explicitly specify which row an event appears on?
Hi Ken, Yes, that's what I needed. Thanks!

Re: [Simile-Widgets] Re: Is it possible to explicitly specify which row an event appears on?
Hi Mark, Thanks for the pointer. However, this isn't quite what I had in mind. I was hoping that there would be some way to force events to appear on the same row within a band. For example, in the third band in the example you listed, the events The Old Guitarist and Portrait of Pablo Picasso do not line up at the same y co-ordinates, even though the text of The Old Guitarist does not overlap with that of Portrait of Pablo Picasso. They are in the same band, but are not vertically aligned. I would like to be able to insist that, if there is no overlap, events appear in the same row. Is this possible? thanks, Alex On 5/13/10 1:57 AM, mleden mle...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi Alex, AFAIK, the best way to simulate that would be using the filtered event source feature of Timeline. I no longer have publicly available code that illustrates this, but I based my coding on this excellent example: http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/projects/timeline-exhibit/timeline-exhibit 2.html I recommend that you first get your Timeline working with just a single band. Then, using the source code from the above example as reference, introduce the constructFilteredEventSource functionality. Each Timeline band will represent a single person's tasks. Needless to say, the more bands that you introduce, the heavier the drag on performance.

[Simile-Widgets] Is it possible to explicitly specify which row an event appears on?
I'd like to create a timeline to represent tasks in a project, with each row in the timeline representing a different person's tasks, assuming non-overlapping start and end dates.
