Very cool! Thank you. I did not know about collections in exhibit. (This may actually solve the problem of adding subsets of an Exhibit feed to additional timeline bands.)
The obvious question this brings up is... Can you create collections using another item in the array except for 'type'? I'm looking at the source code trying to figure it out. - John ************************************************** John Callahan Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware 227 Academy St, Newark DE 19716-7501 Tel: (302) 831-3584 Email: [email protected] http://www.dgs.udel.edu ************************************************** David Karger wrote: > http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Collections > > Rahul wrote: > >> How can I restrict a TableView so that it only displays data of a >> certain type?
