Employment/Purpose

Timelineis a DHTML-based Ajax widget for visualizing time-based events developed by SIMILE project of MIT. It is like Google Maps for time-based information.

A timeline contains one or more Bands, which can be panned infinitely by dragging with the mouse pointer, using the mouse scroll-wheel or the keyboard's arrow buttons.

A band can be configured to synchronize with another band such that panning one band also scrolls the other.

Example

<timeline height="300px" width="100%">
	<bandinfo width="70%" id="b1" intervalUnit="month"
		intervalPixels="100" eventSourceUrl="misc/timeline_ex1.xml">
	</bandinfo>
	<bandinfo width="30%" intervalUnit="year" intervalPixels="200"
		syncWith="b1" eventSourceUrl="misc/timeline_ex1.xml">
	</bandinfo>
</timeline>
