Time Line

A time line is a graph that shows events in the order in which they take place.

A time line looks like a ruler. It is a straight line with evenly spaced intervals marked along it. On a time line, each mark represents a date.

Time Line

The date span on a time line depends on the information covered. It may be one day or several hundred years and it can cover general or specific topics.

Time Line

Dates are shown on a time line in proportional distance to one another. The years 1900 and 2000 will be twice as far apart on a time line as the years 1900 and 1950.

Time Line

If a time line has to show events happening in two eras with nothing happening in the middle, you can break the time line. A gap in the line will show that a number of years has been omitted to save space.
