Simple In-Browser Timeline
javascript, timeline, visualization
Solution
Timeline seems to be very close to what I want.
Here is an example that seems to fulfill my requirements.
Problem
I want to make a tool for a game server that will read the connect/disconnect logs and present them in a visually appealing way. The effect I am looking for is similar to this mock-up (Excuse the 'Programmer Art') Here is my image: Where the coloured bars show the time the user was connected to the server. DHX Timeline View is the closest I've come to a viable solution for an in-browser solution. Simile, Mashi, Verite and a few others seem a bit too complex for what I want. Are there any scripts that can do what I need? Has anyone any experience with this kind of thing? Would it be better to build one? If so, how? (I'm totally open to learning)
