Hi Micky, Welcome to Timeline.
Each band of the Timeline consists of a number of "tracks." The events are laid out by the painter to use the minimum number of tracks. To make each track thicker, change the track height and event tape height in the theme. Another way to use up more vertical space (by using more tracks) is to compress the Timeline by using lower values for the intervalPixels and magnify parameters. But if your events don't have any overlap, then they will only use up one track on the band. That's considered a feature. Regarding styling: note that some styling is handled by the Theme, and other styling can be set by css class names set in the event data file. You can also explicitly set the css class name for decorators. The wiki page on Themes discusses some of this, and the reasons why. Sorry that there isn't more comprehensive documentation yet. Regards, Larry ________________________________ From: Micky Hulse <[email protected]> To: SIMILE Widgets <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 7:38:48 PM Subject: Timeline styling and event positioning Hi, Is there any sort of guide on how to style all the elements? Currently, I am using Firebug to get class names and then override said class names with local styles... But I just wanted to see if there was a better way of doing things. Also, how do I spread my events out across (vertically) the timeline? Currently, it seems like all my events gather at the vertical top of the timeline... Is there an option for making events more spread out? Thanks!
