On July 1st and July 7th, we posted about Timeline from the Simile project.
We’re pleased to post about another related project: Timeplot, which is
a canvas-based ajaxy plotting companion to
our Timeline widget (that also supports the same timeline data formats).
Follow the link; the screen shot doesn’t do it justice. While you’re there, don’t miss the comprehensive tutorial, which shows how easy it is to create these charts.
In a nutshell, you do this:
and the “data.txt” file is just a CSV file. And the tutorial even shows you how to make it look purty.

Jon Brisbin has created an XML-RPC JavaScript client called @tomic:
The @tomic XML-RPC client requires ExtJS 1.1, but has no other external requirements. It’s designed to be easy-to-use, flexible, and robust enough for anything you might throw at it. Since this is an initial release, I’m putting it out as a beta (under the GPL).
John Allsopp has developed XRAY, a bookmarklet that launches a tool to visualize the web page that you are on (a little like features in Firebug and Firefox). The look and feel is great, and the margin popups look like the new Safari/Webkit search functionality (mmm orange).
What is XRAY
XRAY is the first in hopefully a suite of free cross browser tools for helping web designers and developers better visualize what their code is doing in a browser. XRAY is designed to help you get beneath the skin of your web page.
XRAY let’s you see the box model for any element on a page in action - where is the top and left of an element, how big is each margin, how big is the padding, how wide and high is the content box?
What platforms and browsers is XRAY available on?
XRAY currently has been tested on Safari 2 and 3 on Mac OS X, Webkit nightly builds, and Mozilla based browsers (Firefox, Camino and so on) on Mac OS X and Windows. At present it won’t work on Internet Explorer (XRAY uses the canvas element, but plans are afoot to adapt it for Internet Explorer), and has not been adapted for Opera. We hope to have versions for Opera shortly, and Internet Explorer on Windows in the not too distant future. XRAY works in Safari 3 on Windows, but clicking a bookmark does not fire any Javascript it contains. To use XRAY on Safari 3 for windows at present, you’ll need to paste the XRAY link into the address field and hit return.
