A system and method for creating, editing, and displaying nested timelines. Using the disclosed system, a user can create linked timelines within a timeline and represent the linked (or “nested”) timelines as single elements in the timeline. Nested timelines allow a user to remove elements from a timeline to avoid cluttering the timeline or to group certain events together. Nested timelines also allow a user to alter the timescale for displaying events. The system allows the viewer to easily switch between the parent timeline and the nested timeline as necessary to view the events associated with each timeline. In some embodiments, the system allows various graphical elements representing a span of time, events, nested timelines, and annotations to be added to a timeline. |
