Hi Magic,

I revised the page on 
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_GettingStarted

several days ago.

It no longer includes the line:
bandInfos[1].eventPainter.setLayout(bandInfos[0].eventPainter.getLayout());

... and your ver 2.2.0 file shouldn't include it either.

Re: Versions:
The MIT server is serving up several versions.
See http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/

You should be using 
http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.2.0

If you downloaded the software to your own server then the version is which 
ever you downloaded. I recommend the trunk version which has a number of great 
features in it beyond the 2.2.0 features. I need to spend the time to revise it 
to the new site/example dir layout and then release it as 2.3.0. I'm sorry that 
I haven't had the time, I'm currently way over committed.

I think the other important task is to completely re-write the getting started 
wiki page. (And test it too.)

Re: difference in bundle sizes. I haven't investigated that issue. From your 
email, it sounds like the newer version is smaller than the older version. I'm 
not surprised, David H re-wrote major chunks of Timeline based on his 
experiences with the prior version and on Exhibit. Re-writes and re-factoring 
typically lead to smaller code bases.

Regards,

Larry

Hi Larry,

I have the same problem with Warf.
I also have line "bandInfos[1].eventPainter.setLayout(bandInfos
[0].eventPainter.getLayout());" in my page because it comes from "How
to create Timelines" document.
The sample works when my page refer to "simile.mit.edu" but not work
when it refer to my local files (v2.2.0)
bundle.js from "simile.mit.edu" is 114k but my local timeline-
bundle.js is 89k only.
Why? What is the version of online Timeline library on "timeline-
bundle.js"?

Magic
