A Timeline component (not current addon) : Did I Imagine It?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hello,

We’re sketching out some UI ideas, and one thing popped up : a timeline component. Not the current Timeline component in the Directory (graphing values over time), but one showing events over a period of time.

Now, it’s possible that I imagined this, but I could have
sworn
 that I saw a Vaadin component/prototype posted in the forums that did this, by one of the Vaadin developers. I’ve searched the forums, but come up blank.

Does anyone else remember this?

I can see that someone else intended to start implementing the
Simile Timeline
 as a Vaadin component (
placeholder in the contrib section
), but didn’t get as far as actualling delivering any code.

Cheers,

Charles.

You can also add events to Timeline alongside graphs. Just as in the

. Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Joonas,

Yes, that sort of thing - but without the graph!

Here’s more the sort of thing : http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/examples/cubism/cubism.html

Just a way of presenting a series of events (with no inherent value, other than date) over a period of time… maybe I can hack/bodge/manipulate a normal chart to provide the same thing… I just felt sure that someone had posted a component that did the same thing.

Cheers,

Charles.

This is not possible with Timeline add-on. I would just wrap simile to a really simple vaadin widget. If you do, please submit it also to directory :)
