Luis,
I had a similar problem and here's what I did:
1) I put each subsystem (meeting room in your case) into its own band. My
timeline has 19 bands with hundreds of events, and no performance problems
so you should be okay.
2) I used the "trackNum" attribute for each event. Make all the events for
each band have the same track number.
3) After I did these two things, I still had a problem with timeline
rendering events on different tracks. Timeline does not like the events to
touch each other, so before it draws an event it will figure out if it needs
to draw on a different track by checking to see if the new event will be
touching another event already drawn. I changed one line of code to allow
touching. In original-painter.js, look for the function _findFreeTrack().
Change this:
if (t > rightEdge) {
break;
}
to this:
if (t >= rightEdge) { //TV. add = so duration events can butt up
against each other.
break;
}
After this, your duration events will be allowed to touch each other (but
not overlap).
