Tilige

(timeline generator) - current version 0.3

Features

• Simple xml file input
• Automatic placing of text and lines to prevent overlaps
• Automatic timescale with years/months divisions
• High-quality SVG output (Firefox reads this natively)
• Pure C code

Current limitations:

• Limited to dates between 1970 and 2030
• Divisions for timescales smaller than months and bigger than years are not plotted
• Simultaneous events (if both have durations) are not handled optimally yet

You can download the C code (version 0.3), and compile it on your machine (C99 standard, no platform-dependent code). You'll need Franchie's XML library installed (that is also cross-platform).
