timeline_ift

This script takes input data from a coded spreadsheet with foraging information in it and a processed Fluorite log with Eclipse commands in it and then creates a visual timeline of the participant's actions.

This script is pretty quick-and-dirty, so it's not using a lot of best practices. For example it doesn't use CSS (which would help the visual presentation a lot) and it doesn't really lay out items in most user-friendly way (ex: text always on top).

Inputs

Place in the ../timeline_forks_data directory (yes, it's one directory above the source code):

  • A codes file in tab-separated format, usually copy-pastable from Excel, ex: p03-coded.txt

  • A commands file in tab-separated format, usually copy-pastable from Excel, ex: p03-commands.txt

Output

  • An SVG file of the timeline, ex: p03.svg
