Hi, On the Timeline_Basics page (http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/ Timeline_Basics), the very first timeline image is an example of a timeline with text labels overlaid on the tape of the event - see "Oswald gets off bus and boards taxi".
I would like to use this feature, but having scoured the docs and the internet, the only reference to how to do this is here: http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets/browse_thread/thread/5a33517864ae959c The advice is to fork (!) the timeline javascript release to customize the event painter to adjust the labelTop. I looked at the code and forking it seems trivial enough, but forking in general is horrible and I don't want to do it. Is this really the only way to do it? How was the example image created? Is this a sufficiently attractive feature that it might like to be included as part of the official release? If not, is there any advice on subclassing the painters to avoid forking?
