It's a hack, but you can do it by making two facets on the same property. Exhibit will and between the selections on the two facets. Thank you for your answer. However, this seems to be not a suitable solution for my needs: if I need to compute an AND between N (with N arbitrary and not

Hi, I am trying to figure out what exactly is the timeZone parameter purpose is. lets say I set it to +2, and load events that have a specific date, is the time zone supposed to affect the event's time (it doesnt work from what I see , at least not in version 2.3.1). I also saw in this group

Another approach would be to explicitly describe gaps in the data file as e.g. invisible points. This would push the problem of detecting gaps back to the source app. Stefano Mazzocchi wrote: Vipul Gupta wrote: I'm interested in using Simile timeplot for plotting data values collected

Hmmm, two timezone issues in one day. Did you try using UTC tz in your data instead of -8? There are two different questions: 1) What TZ is Exhibit/Timeline in. This determines when a date's mark is shown on the band. Eg is Start of Monday at time 2009-06-21 00:00:00T00 or 2009-06-21

Hi Ora, To add an event at runtime, just do the following: var eventSource1 = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource(); Use eventSource1 as an argument to create band. It will supply event information to the band. var evt = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource.Event({event details...}); eventSource1

Instead of going through Babel to support KML files in Exhibit (which essentially views KML as a distinct data source and container of items), I'd like to look at it from another perspective. Why can't we support KML simply as a field in the items[] array of an existing data source? The
