What might 'vertical time line' mean? Does it mean that time is on the X-axis or on the Y-axis? If time is on the x-axis, dates go from left to right and the people are listed vertically. If time is on the y-axis, then the people are on the x-axis and go from left to right. Or is it something completely different? -- Tim Powys-Lybbe tim@powys.org For a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/

Dates are "listed" on the left and corresponding people/events are "listed" on the right (Sorry - math is not my strong point!)
