Looks nice. Would it be possible to make a "cut" in a timeline? In the "Ancient galactic history" nothing interesting happens in a long time, and that space could be better used. — SvdB 12:39, 9 July 2006 (CEST)

Thanks. Afaik, there isn't a way to make a "cut". It certainly would be nice in that and a few other timelines that I've thought about doing. There might be a way to nearly do it, by doing two separate timelines and putting them nearly on top of one another, but I'm not sure how that would look or work. Or I could manually add in the years and a cut on the timescale, a bit of work but probably the most aesthetically pleasing way to do it. I'm also curious how the "Ancient galactic history" would look vertically.

Just to throw it out there, these are the timelines that I'm considering/working on:

• Ancient galactic history
• Ur-Quan conflict
• Human specific history - might change this to a vertical timeline
• Prelude to the conflict/recent galactic history - The few ET events prior to the conflict, possibly going back several thousand years.

Granted that last one is maybe going a little overboard, but I've got a new hammer and everything looks like a nail. --Fyzixfighter 19:21, 9 July 2006 (CEST)

OK, I was able to do something that kind of added in a cut. The only problem was that I couldn't find a way to get rid of the automated numbers along the horizontal time axis, hence the ugly black line across the bottom. I also wasn't able to figure out a way to show the cut on the time axis itself, but I'm still playing with it. --Fyzixfighter 08:57, 10 July 2006 (CEST)
