FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

What can the labels be?

Anything short: years, full dates, quarter names, or step numbers. The tool plots events at even spacing in the order you paste them.

Is the spacing proportional to time?

No, events are evenly spaced, which keeps a timeline with a 10-year gap readable. For proportional time spacing, a line graph of values over time is the better form.

How many events fit?

About ten reads comfortably at export width. For longer chronologies, split into eras and make one timeline per era.

Does my data get uploaded?

No. The timeline is rendered in your browser and exported locally.
