Wikie:EasyTimeline

O EasyTimeline é um atributo que produz uma imagem a partir de um wikitexto. A imagem pode ser um diagrama unidimensional (horizontal ou vertical) ou uma unidade bidimensional. Como diz o ditado: uma imagem vale mais que mil palavras. Isto certamente é verdade para a gráfica Timeline. Uma lista detalhada dos eventos e datas em forma tabulada pode oferecer ao leitor uma grande quantidade de detalhes, mas pode deixar de fornecer uma visão geral, com grande perspectiva. Sintaxe está descrição em MW:Extension:EasyTimeline/syntax

Exemplos de gráficos

Três exemplos do que é possível. Para mais exemplos, veja (ligações para a Wikipédia anglófona):

• WW II - Pacific Theatre
• History of Computing
• Tour de France Sieger
• Vocal and instrumental pitch ranges (um bom exemplo de uma diagrama que não é exatamente uma linha do tempo)
• Complete timeline of Macintosh models
• English Monarchs

Exemplo de código

Só para mostrar como o sintaxe do script é razoavelmente intuitiva: aqui está o script para a imagem da esquerda: Líderes Soviética

<timeline>
# Todas as medidas estão em pixels

ImageSize  = width:160 height:550
PlotArea   = width:50 height:530 left:50 bottom:10

DateFormat = yyyy
Period     = from:1919 till:1991
TimeAxis   = orientation:vertical
ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:5 start:1920

# não existe qualquer colisão detecção automática, de modo que 
# deve-se substituir no textos para cima ou para baixo manualmente de evitar a sobreposição

Define $dx = 25 # shift text to right side of bar

PlotData=

Colchetes duplo e único podem ser usados da forma acostumeira na Wikipedia, linguagem prefixo é possível, por exemplo, [[de: foo | mais sobre foo]]. Colchetes único para links externos também são suportados.

Unicode

Nas primeiras vezes em que o EasyTimeline é utilizado, esta linguagem pode não parecer tão fácil. Tal como acontece com todas as linguagens de script, se leva algum tempo para se acostumar. Assim como a sintaxe da descrição pode ser um pouco confusa devido às suas dimensões. Felizmente muitos elementos da linguagem script são opcionais.

O "Fácil", em EasyTimeline conduz a mensagem de que uma vez existindo um timeline não é tão difícil de entendê-lo, melhorá-lo ou corrigi-lo. E também traduzi-lo para ser usado em outra Wikipedia, é bastante simples.

Dicas:

• O que mais os editores fazem até o momento: encontrar um cronograma que é semelhante ao que você quer e utiliza-lo como modelo.
• Ponha cada um dos Timeline em predefinições separadas: isso faz com que seja mais fácil de editar, mais rápido para visualização e possível incluir em várias páginas.
• Sinta-se livre para falar com Erik Zachte (o autor de EasyTimeline) para obter ajuda ou aconselhamento.
