timeline

Events as marks on a single axis where distance is elapsed time. The whole discipline is that the spacing has to be honest. If you space the marks evenly because it looks tidier, you have deleted the one thing this form knows that a list does not. Anything that lasted rather than happened gets a span instead of a point, with its length written on it.

Example

Best when one party, one span of time, and the size of the gaps between events is part of what you are trying to see.
