Segmented timeline

[tmtjond]

I found that it is not possible to set time zone into the segmented timeline.
Any suggestion for implement a time-zone aware segmented timeline?

Thanks.

Try setting the TimeZone on the DateAxis

Code: Select all

public void setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone zone)

Setting timezone to the dateAxis could only affect the 'display value' of the time?

However, the segmented time is going to control the possible valid time period:
say, the segmented time is defined as Mon 9:00am to Fri 9pm, with the DEFAULT timezone

Using getDefault which creates a TimeZone based on the time zone where the program is running.
Clients with different default timezone (say, Japan vs New York) would create same range: Mon 9:00am to Fri 9pm
but indeed, the 'actual' values (after timezone effect added) would be different.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I read the test cases.

It seems that it could only control the timeline's timezone by TimeZone.setDefault(timeZone).

David, wanna ask is there any reason you don't add a setter for the timezone for the segmentedTimeline?

I'm not sure, my head always hurts when I look at that code. I vaguely recall that the timeline deals with everything in UTC, so a TimeZone can only apply to the DateAxis (i.e. labelling). But I'd have to study the code, and I don't have the time for that at the moment.

It's okay, thanks for your reply.
