Hi all,
I just coded up a new event painter that lays out events in a more
compact way:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/misc/compact-painter/
(The bottom timeline uses the existing layout, and is there for
comparison against the middle timeline.)
What's new?
- Duration events can now have their images painted, too (see "John D.
Rockefeller" (1839) in the top timeline). This is a major addition.
- Images of different events can be of different sizes (compare "John D.
Rockefeller, Jr." (1874) against "Avery Rockefeller" (1903)).
- The example shows 2 different sizes but potentially each image can
have its own size.
- Things are a lot more packed vertically (see middle timeline).
- Precise instant events with the same date/time can be "collapsed"
together to save space (see those "x events" in the middle timeline).
This is accomplished by letting each event's rendered HTML elements take
up potentially more than one track, and then keeping the track height small.
Please let me know what you think! If you like it, I'll check it in and
you can help me test it. :)
Cheers,
David
