Timeline *does* put events in the same row if there is no overlap. You'll note
that The Old Guitarist does overlap with Portrait of Pablo Picasso -
Timeline uses a reverse iterator to loop through events - this means that when
painting two overlapping events, the earlier event will be the one pushed down
to make room for the later event.

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

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.
HTH,

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. To do this, I'm hoping to be able to
specify which row a given event appears on. For example, referring to the
religions
example:https://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/religions/religions.html
I'd like to be able to specify that, in the third band, Samaria, Judea,
Idumea under Roman and Tiberius, Roman Emperor appear in the same row.
Does anyone have any suggestions either how to do this out-of-the-box, or
pointers as to where the code would need to be modified to add this?
thanks!
Alex
