Hi David, Ohhh, Timeplot, err um, hmmm....
Timelplot is above my paygrade... My 2 cents worth: 1) Try doing everything (your data's dates) in UTC/GMT. My guess is that it will all work fine. 2) If you want to use Central Europe timezone (+1), that's fine, but you'll need to debug the problem. Since it works in Timeline, the problem is in Timeplot, not the underlying Simile-Ajax lib. Timeline handles Timezone issues by having the timezone specified as part of the object creation, and then using it. If you don't track the timezone, then you can end up with funky problems like the one you're receiving. Remember that the browser's timezone can vary widely. -- And it is not always set correctly--there are plenty of people who change their computer's time instead of the timezone. But since you control your data, you should know the correct timezone for the data. And if your data doesn't have a timezone per se, then I strongly recommend explicitly using UTC/GMT in such cases. The trunk version of Timeline now includes a timezone test example courtesy of David H. You can use it as a model for testing out timezones in Timeplot. Thanks for your help, Larry ________________________________ From: David Welton <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 11:26:35 AM Subject: Re: year oddness > Welcome to Timeline! Thanks... I've actually posted before though. I have a hacky attempt at making these widgets work standalone here: http://github.com/davidw/standalone-timeplot/tree/master > Please set the timezone in your band creation call to 1 and let us know if > that fixes things. > > eg > Timeline.createBandInfo({ > width: "10%", > intervalUnit: Timeline.DateTime.DECADE, > intervalPixels: 200, > date: d, > theme: theme, > timeZone : 1 > }), Here's how I'm creating things (it's actually a timeplot): Timeplot.createPlotInfo({ id: "plot" + col, dataSource: new Timeplot.ColumnSource(eventSource, col), valueGeometry: new Timeplot.DefaultValueGeometry({ gridColor: "#000000", axisLabelsPlacement: "left", min: 0, max: 100 }), lineColor: color, timeGeometry: new Timeplot.DefaultTimeGeometry({ gridColor: "#000000", axisLabelsPlacement: "top" }) })); Where should I put the timezone?
