<h1>Timeline</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Timeline is an interactive visualization chart to visualize data in time.
|
|
The data items can take place on a single date, or have a start and end date (a range).
|
|
You can freely move and zoom in the timeline by dragging and scrolling in the
|
|
Timeline. Items can be created, edited, and deleted in the timeline.
|
|
The time scale on the axis is adjusted automatically, and supports scales ranging
|
|
from milliseconds to years.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Timeline uses regular HTML DOM to render the timeline and items put on the
|
|
timeline. This allows for flexible customization using css styling.

Install or download the <a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.
|
|
in a subfolder of your project. Include the libraries script and css files in the
|
|
head of your html code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-html">
|
|
<script src="vis/dist/vis.js"></script>
|
|
<link href="vis/dist/vis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
The constructor of the Timeline is <code>vis.Timeline</code>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, items, options);</pre>
|
|
or when using groups:
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, items, groups, options);</pre>
|
|
|
|
The constructor accepts four parameters:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>container</code> is the DOM element in which to create the timeline.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>items</code> is an Array containing items. The properties of an
|
|
item are described in section <a href="#Data_Format">Data Format, items</a>.
|
|
</li><li>
|
|
<code>groups</code> is an Array containing groups. The properties of a
|
|
group are described in section <a href="#groups">Data Format, groups</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>options</code> is an optional Object containing a name-value map
|
|
with options. Options can also be set using the method
|
|
<code>setOptions</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Data_Format">Data Format</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The timeline can be provided with two types of data:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="#items">Items</a> containing a set of items to be displayed in time.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="#groups">Groups</a> containing a set of groups used to group items
|
|
together.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="items">Items</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Timeline uses regular Arrays and Objects as data format.
|
|
Data items can contain the properties <code>start</code>,
|
|
<code>end</code> (optional), <code>content</code>,
|
|
<code>group</code> (optional), <code>className</code> (optional),
|
|
and <code>style</code> (optional).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A table is constructed as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|

var items = [
|
|
{
|
|
start: new Date(2010, 7, 15),

end: new Date(2010, 8, 2), // end is optional
|
|
content: 'Trajectory A'
|
|
// Optional: fields 'id', 'type', 'group', 'className', 'style'
|
|
}
|
|
// more items...
|
|
]);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The item properties are defined as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table class="moduleTable" >
|
|
<tr class="header">
|
|
<td>Name</td>

|
<td class="mid">String</td>
|

<td class="mid">no</td>

<td>This field is optional. A className can be used to give items
|
|
an individual css style. For example, when an item has className
|
|
'red', one can define a css style like:

|

<p>
|

When the Timeline is configured to be editable (both options <code>selectable</code> and <code>editable</code> are <code><code>true</code></code>), the user can:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Select an item by clicking it, and use ctrl+click to or shift+click to select multiple items (when <code>multiselect: true</code>).</li>
|
|
<li>Move selected items by dragging them.</li>
|
|
<li>Create a new item by double tapping on an empty space.</li>
|
|
<li>Create a new range item by dragging on an empty space with the ctrl key down.</li>
|
|
<li>Update an item by double tapping it.</li>
|
|
<li>Delete a selected item by clicking the delete button on the top right.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Option <code>editable</code> accepts a boolean or an object. When <code>editable</code> is a boolean, all manipulation actions will be either enabled or disabled. When <code>editable</code> is an object, one can enable individual manipulation actions:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">// enable or disable all manipulation actions
|
|
var options = {
|
|
editable: true // true or false
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// enable or disable individual manipulation actions
|
|
var options = {
|
|
editable: {
|
|
add: true, // add new items by double tapping
|
|
updateTime: true, // drag items horizontally
|
|
updateGroup: true, // drag items from one group to another
|
|
remove: true // delete an item by tapping the delete button top right
|
|
}
|
|
};</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
One can specify callback functions to validate changes made by the user. There are a number of callback functions for this purpose:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>onAdd(item, callback)</code> Fired when a new item is about to be added. If not implemented, the item will be added with default text contents.</li>
|
|
<li><code>onUpdate(item, callback)</code> Fired when an item is about to be updated. This function typically has to show a dialog where the user change the item. If not implemented, nothing happens.</li>
|
|
<li><code>onMove(item, callback)</code> Fired when an item has been moved. If not implemented, the move action will be accepted.</li>
|
|
<li><code>onMoving(item, callback)</code> Fired repeatedly while an item is being moved (dragged). Can be used to adjust the items start, end, and/or group to allowed regions.</li>
|
|
<li><code>onRemove(item, callback)</code> Fired when an item is about to be deleted. If not implemented, the item will be always removed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each of the callbacks is invoked with two arguments:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>item</code>: the item being manipulated</li>
|
|
<li><code>callback</code>: a callback function which must be invoked to report back. The callback must be invoked as <code>callback(item or null)</code>. Here, <code>item</code> can contain changes to the passed item. Parameter `item` typically contains fields `content`, `start`, and optionally `end`. The type of `start` and `end` is determined by the DataSet type configuration and is `Date` by default. When invoked as <code>callback(null)</code>, the action will be cancelled.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
|
|
onUpdate: function (item, callback) {
|
|
item.content = prompt('Edit items text:', item.content);
|
|
if (item.content != null) {
|
|
callback(item); // send back adjusted item
|
|
}
|
|
else {
|
|
callback(null); // cancel updating the item
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|

|
<h2 id="Templates">Templates</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Timeline supports templates to format item contents. Any template engine (such as <a href="http://handlebarsjs.com/">handlebars</a> or <a href="http://mustache.github.io/">mustache</a>) can be used, and one can also manually build HTML. In the options, one can provide a template handler. This handler is a function accepting an items data as argument, and outputs formatted HTML:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
|
|
template: function (item) {
|
|
var html = ... // generate HTML markup for this item
|
|
return html;
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Create HTML manually</h3>
|
|
|
|
The HTML for an item can be created manually:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
|
|
template: function (item) {
|
|
return '<h1>' + item.header + '</h1><p>' + item.description + '</p>';
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Using a template engine</h3>
|
|
|
|
Using <a href="http://handlebarsjs.com/">handlebars</a>, one can write the template in HTML:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-html">
|
|
<script id="item-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
|
|
<h1>{{header}}</h1>
|
|
<p>{{description}}</p>
|
|
</script>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Compile the template:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var source = document.getElementById('item-template').innerHTML;
|
|
var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
And then specify the template in the Timeline options
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
|
|
template: template
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Multiple templates</h3>
|
|
|
|
In order to support multiple templates, the template handler can be extended to switch between different templates, depending on a specific item property:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var templates = {
|
|
template1: Handlebars.compile(...),
|
|
template2: Handlebars.compile(...),
|
|
template2: Handlebars.compile(...),
|
|
...
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
var options = {
|
|
template: function (item) {
|
|
var template = templates[item.template]; // choose the right template
|
|
return template(item); // execute the template
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Now the items can be extended with a property <code>template</code>, specifying which template to use for the item.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Localization">Localization</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Timeline can be localized. For localization, Timeline depends largely on the localization of <a href="http://momentjs.com">moment.js</a>. Locales are not included in vis.js by default. To enable localization, moment.js must be loaded with locales. Moment.js offers a bundle named "moment-with-locales.min.js" for this and there are various alternative ways to load locales.

To set a locale for the Timeline, specify the option <code>locale</code>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
|
|
locale: 'nl'
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Create a new locale</h3>
|
|
|
|
To load a locale into the Timeline not supported by default, one can add a new locale to the option <code>locales</code>:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {
|
|
locales: {
|
|
// create a new locale (text strings should be replaced with localized strings)
|
|
mylocale: {
|
|
current: 'current',
|
|
time: 'time',
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
// use the new locale
|
|
locale: 'mylocale'
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|

|
|
All parts of the Timeline have a class name and a default css style.
|
|
The styles can be overwritten, which enables full customization of the layout
|
|
of the Timeline.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, to change the border and background color of all items, include the
|
|
following code inside the head of your html code or in a separate stylesheet.</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-html"><style>
|
|
.vis-item {
|
|
border-color: orange;
|
|
background-color: yellow;
|

|
</style>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="Grid_Backgrounds">Grid Backgrounds</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The background grid of the time axis can be styled, for example to highlight
|
|
weekends or to create grids with an alternating white/lightgray background.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Depending on the zoom level, the grids get certain css classes attached.

The following classes are available:
