OGLE Event Timeline

[Alasdair Allan]

All,

I've been experimenting with various ways to display event data and  
thought the following might interest people,

   http://vo.astro.ex.ac.uk/ogle/cgi-bin/timeline.cgi

although be warned, the page is fairly javascript heavy so might take  
a while to load the first time round.

At the top of the page is an event timeline, there are two  
independently scrollable bars (the upper in days, the lower in  
months), you can click and drag the timeline to show previous events.  
The view of the top scrollable area is represented by a light grey  
box on the bottom (month view) area. Until you get a feel for the  
interface you might want to just drag around the top bar as things  
will move slower (days, rather than months).

Each event is represented by a marker, and clicking on the marker  
will bring up additional data and links for that event (in the month  
view the marker is represented by a small blue bar rather than a  
discrete data point).

The OGLE event data is also displayed normally in table form below  
the timeline interface.

Comments?
