Hi Ben, Your screenshot is what I expected. Please see my suggestions, below.
You could use trackNum to explicitly place your events on tracks, but you probably wouldn't save any vertical space by doing so--the automatic placement heuristic is pretty good. Here's another idea, increase the intervalPixels in your band definition. Doing so will spread out your events, enabling them to use fewer tracks. Re: Timeplot--that's a separate project. It is less supported than Timeline or Exhibit, but is still of use to folks. You can use a differerent version of Timeplot and Timeline at the same time if you wish. Main thing to look out for would be issues with jQuery if it is included in both Timeplot and Timeline. It is in Timeline, I don't know about Timeplot.

Can I set the interval dynamically, or fix it somehow else? Hey Larry, Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I don't know if you saw it before you posted, but I threw in a screenshot above that illustrates my problem. http://i42.tinypic.com/2uif1y1.png I've been working with Timemap (http://code.google.com/p/timemap/), which, according to the docs, only supports up to v2.2.0. So I wonder if I'm S.O.L. I also thought that maybe I could group and number the "trackNum" attribute I've found in the documentation on the serverside, lining them up myself, but now I wonder if that's possible with 2.2.0. Thank again. Any guidance is appreciated. Ben.
