When there are too many events on the timeline some are not shown


I am using the Simile Timeline, and I am having a problem with events not "wrapping vertically". When there are too many events around the same time the bottom events ones are not displayed. Below, there are two large groups of events. The first group on Jan 31 and the second on Feb 2, but each group contains more events than are shown.

The overflow of events causes some of be hidden behind the lower scroll bar

Is there a way to make the events "wrap" so that all events are shown? (These elements do not share exactly the same time stamp, some are different by a few seconds)

Thanks,

Jordan


Solution

  • Have you tried using the autoWidth attribute, which is part of the Timeline ThemeClass

    autowidth : Should the Timeline automatically grow itself, as needed when too many events for the available width are painted on the visible part of the Timeline
