Hi Greg,
Glad it's working for you. Changing tape height (thickness) works for originalPainter: The example http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/examples/test_example2/test_example2.html demonstrates how to do it and also shows that it works properly with the trunk ver of the source. In fact, I created the thicker tapes on the example's middle band specifically for you. On second reading of your message, I see that you want to change the band height for the *overview* painter. I had not considered that. I'll have to look into it further. Please file an issue regarding the overviewPainter and changing its tape height. Regards, Larry ________________________________ From: greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: SIMILE Widgets <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 11:48:33 AM Subject: Re: Overview layout produces an error Hey Larry: Thanks again. I followed your step-by-step instructions and not only did I get the examples to work from withing my Tomcat server path, I also got my app to work as well. I noticed that in the overview- painter.js file the "OverviewEventPainter.prototype._paintEventTape" was ignoring the tape height from the "metrics" parameter. I added it. In addition, my old nemesis, "tape height" was commented out in original-painter.js file in the "OriginalEventPainter.prototype._paintEventTape" function. I un- commented it and now I can set tape heights with abandon.
