Scrolling

• Do not constrain scrolling – Scrolling left and right is unlimited and unbounded
• Bounce once at first/last event, then continue – Scrolling left and right will stop at the first and last events, but still allows the ability to continue
• Restrict scrolling to first/last event – Scrolling can be done up until the first and last event.

Layout

• Use minimum space possible
  
  • Events will be displayed at the top-most vertical space that will fit them.
  • This uses the least space, but events are interleaved and related events may be separated vertically by others
  • Event positions are inconsistent when zooming (they are likely to shuffle around to very different vertical locations when you change the zoom)
• Cascade unbroken groups from top
  
  • Each event will be displayed underneath the previous one, until there is enough room to return to the top and have all later events displayed in an unbroken chain.
  • This avoids interleaving events, and uses much less space than the last option (but more than the first)
  • Event positions are inconsistent when zooming (they are likely to shuffle around to very different vertical locations when you change the zoom)
• Only return to top when clear of all previous
  
  • Each event will be displayed underneath the previous one, until an event’s start position is further right than the right-most edge of all previous events.
  • This is more stable and consistent when zooming (events won’t jump around so much), but can create very long chains (and a lot of vertical height) for large timelines.

Options

• Show event IDs on timeline  – The event ID is shown on individual events:
• Show event dates – The date of the event is shown on individual events:
• Indicate Today – shows a vertical line on the timeline that marks the current date. This line will update in realtime.
• Show Duration in Title - if an event has a duration of > 0, then it will be displayed in its title.
