Abstract

Dual timeline visualizations include a detail timescale shown along two item regions. Display objects shown in an item region may represent events, activities, or multiple stacked events and activities from a set of chronological data items. Display objects have positions and sizes representing those of the corresponding events and activities, and may include data-related or user-selected colors and/or hashing. The detail timescale, in unison with the item regions, may be scrollable and resizable in the direction of time. The item regions may be separately scrollable and resizable in another direction. A visualization may also include an overview panel representing a summary view of both sets of chronological data items, with its own timescale, and a lens showing the position of the detail timescale and item regions.
