Sorry, I will try to clearly state my problem. I have to track the occurrence of a set of people in news articles appearing over time. For eg., considering news articles from the year 2000, I extract the list of the people appearing in them, and place an event $p$ at $t$ (1 day event) on the timeline corresponding to every time a person $p$ appears in an article at time $t$($t$ is some day in the year 2000). Also, I want the people to be appearing in different horizontal rows, so we assign a unique row (trackNum) to every person. But the issue is that usually the number of people in all is very large, which can't be contained in say 400px height of the timeline div. Hence, the timeline height becomes large (~3000px), and difficult to manage.
I basically want the timeline height to remain at say 400px, and all the tracks to appear on demand by scrolling vertically within the div. eg. the 2 scenarios (diag1 is desirable & diag2 is undesirable). I want to decrease the height of diag2, add a vertical scrollbar so that it looks like diag1. I have tried the CSS overflow change but was not able to get anything. I saw the CompactEventPainter example, but that seems to use a newer version of Timeline (2.4?). The screenshots are at http://shashank94.in/test/diag1.png & http://shashank94.in/test/diag2.png Would really appreciate any help on this matter.
