Why This Belongs In The Compiler Gallery

Timelines are the most direct chart unlocked by first-class temporal scales. The marks are simple point, line, and text glyphs; the important compiler capability is date parsing, temporal domain resolution, and generated date-axis guides.

Data Contract

Each raw row represents one dated event.

FieldTypePurpose
datetemporalEvent position on the timeline.
labeltextEvent label.
tooltiptext, optionalHover label for the event point.

Expected Visual

A faithful timeline should show dated events along one continuous time axis. Labels and stems identify events without implying a quantitative y value.

Compiler Mapping

Compiler partMapping
Data sourceevents table.
TransformNone for the first pass; temporal position is scale-owned.
Scalesx: time(date).
Layersline rail/stems, point events, and text event labels.
GuidesGenerated x-axis and x-grid with date formatting.

Faithfulness Notes

The current gallery version proves the temporal scale and date guide path. The next fidelity step is a timeline/event layout transform for alternating labels, collision avoidance, spans, and milestone symbols.
