TIMELINE: v2 Event layout should place earlier events on higher tracks #10

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use current SVN (r1563)
2. Include overlapping period events, or look at JFK example.

What is the expected output? 

Event 1
   Event 2
       Event 3

What do you see instead?

       Event 3
   Event 2
Event 1

(ie later events end up on higher tracks)

What version of the product are you using? 

SVN r1563.  The currently hosted MIT version doesn't do this.

On what operating system?

OS X 10.5 FF 3

Please provide any additional information below.

On the mailing list LarryK suggested that it was related to the changes
from v1 to v2, as discussed in these email threads.

Added labels: Project-Timeline

I believe that if the data set is sorted into reverse chronological order 
(latest 
event first), then you'll get behavior similar to the request.

This issue is related to the automatic layout code. At this time, there is no 
plan to 
add the requested enhancement.

This is also happening in the JFK demo on the main web page. For my company's 
use of
Timeline, I have tried reversing the order that I print events into the XML and 
it
makes no difference.

look for ReverseIterator in original-painter and remove the "Reverse" :)

Setting trackNum will set the events in a specific track. So you could set 
Event1.trackNum = 1 and so on. However, this will also cause all the events to 
stack if you go 1...n
