Re: timelines from GEDCOM files

Hi Phil,

I see the same thin Ron sees and I was also wondering about the
seemingly missing Info suggested by the "dots".

The two date lines seem to be for rough and fine date selection, right?

What would interest me is
1) How would Persons be displayed with only deceased date available?
2) Would it be straight-forward to have dots included in different
colors for information like birth, baptism, death and burial? Often
times accurate dates for birth and death are not available and baptism
and burial dates have to be substituted. And I'm thinking of different
colors because is nice to be able to see the fact of substitution right
away.
3) You've added specific mouse-over info to each name display. Is it
also possible to add a specific link to each?

Thanks,
Michael
