Allow turning map objects on/off from TimeLine view #73

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Feature request, perhaps related to issue #60 
http://code.google.com/p/timemap/issues/detail?id=60

I would like to have everything in the timeline view, but using the timeline be 
able to turn on/off things in the map view. This would allow a full timeline to 
exist, and modulate an over-full map view, as seen here:

Please clarify - the current default timemap settings always show all timeline 
elements and hide map markers whose corresponding timeline events aren't 
visible. So as far as I can tell this is exactly what you're asking for - am I 
missing something?

I'd like a user interface element on the timeline that can show/hide the 
associated map feature. That is, timeline event is visible (on screen), map 
element can be toggled on/off. 

If you look at the timemap URL I linked to above, you can see why. There are a 
decent amount of elements in the timeline, but not so many that I want to hide 
them. I'd like them all visible. However, the associated map elements are not 
points but are instead areas, and they all overlap, so the map becomes 
unusable. In my case, just a mass of red.

I would like the following behavior: By default, all the map elements are off 
(hidden) even though all the timeline elements are visible (or at least, as 
many as fit on the screen are visible). Clicking on a timeline feature turns 
the associated map feature on. Click on it again, and it turns off.

I hope this clarifies it. I think this might be a specialty feature and I doubt 
it will be a priority, but wanted to add it to the feature request queue anyway.

Thanks for the clarification. I think this is a project-specific feature, not 
one that makes sense for the library. I think it should be easy enough to do 
this yourself - set the mapFilter to none and make custom open and close 
functions that show and hide the map placemark.
