Aeon timeline 311/8/2022 ![]() There is the story-arc that follows the girl during the war.There is the story-arc that follows the boy during the war.There is the story-arc shared by “boy and girl”, when they first meet, and when meet up again.If we were to consider the events included in the above timeline, the events can easily be divided into several story-arcs: An example of Constraint 2, an event with a duration, is included in this image.Ĭonstraint 3: Dividing Events into story-arcs So that events can be displayed in their correct position on the timeline, our story-arc view must use this method to avoid collisions. The typical result looks something like this: This is why horizontal timelines are more common – it is visually better to shift events by the short height of a line of text, rather than the longer and variable width. Most timeline applications shift events perpendicular to the timeline instead (this option was not available for the existing Entity View, because it would encroach on the character space). In Aeon’s (existing) Entity View, this first constraint was intentionally broken: although we had a line marking the event’s correct location on the timeline, to avoid collisions between events, we intentionally shifted events up or down (parallel to the timeline) to avoid collisions between events. Joe was out late, which caused him to sleep in, and therefore arrive late for work the day the building was destroyed by fire).Ĭonstraint 1 and 2: Handling collisions between events ![]()
