This is a follow-up question to Creating a timeline with chronology.
When I use the following to create a timeline:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chronology}
\begin{document}
\begin{chronology}[5]{1100}{1900}{16cm}[16cm]
\event[1110]{1150}{Historical event A}
\event[1555]{1575}{Historical event B}
\event[1575]{1770}{Historical event C}
\end{chronology}
\end{document}
The result is:
Obviously, this is useless as every single year between 1100 and 1900 is drawn. Ideally, only 1100, 1500, and 1900 (for instance) should be included, in addition to the years concerning the events. Perhaps also tickmarks per 100 or 50 years in between.
How does one make chronology
only show selected years? I've tried to look it up, but chronology
documentation is very limited... (Am I perhaps better of using tikz
?)
chronology
apparently usestikz
;-)
