From 2ef8f5e5e2c6f59abe2acdaf22f8f0442d938265 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cedric Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2023 14:46:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix few things on the timeline 1) Use arrows <--> to indicate duration 2) Use : to introduce date 3) Move some text around so slightly... First data moved right so we have full text width for the timeline --- .../fig-life-planet-sourdough-timeline.tex | 32 ++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/book/figures/fig-life-planet-sourdough-timeline.tex b/book/figures/fig-life-planet-sourdough-timeline.tex index 0db4ee7..61e521d 100644 --- a/book/figures/fig-life-planet-sourdough-timeline.tex +++ b/book/figures/fig-life-planet-sourdough-timeline.tex @@ -43,28 +43,24 @@ \draw[line width=1pt] (\textwidth,0.1) -- (\textwidth,-0.1); % Full timeline width for billion years - \draw[line width=1pt] (0,-3.8) -- node[midway, timeline_timespan] {5.45 billion years} (\textwidth,-3.8); - \draw[line width=1pt] (0,-3.7) -- (0,-3.9); - \draw[line width=1pt] (\textwidth,-3.7) -- (\textwidth,-3.9); + \draw[stealth-stealth, line width=1pt] (0,-3.8) -- node[midway, timeline_timespan] {5.45 billion years} (\textwidth,-3.8); % Indicator for the period of 3 months = 1.1 billion years - \draw[line width=1pt] (0,-1.0) -- node[midway, timeline_timespan] {1.11 billion years} ({\segmentwidth * 3},-1.0); - \draw[line width=1pt] (0,-0.9) -- (0,-1.1); - \draw[line width=1pt] ({\segmentwidth * 3},-0.9) -- ({\segmentwidth * 3},-1.1); + \draw[stealth-stealth, line width=1pt] (0,-1.0) -- node[midway, timeline_timespan] {1.11 billion years} ({\segmentwidth * 3},-1.0); % Place events on the timeline with dates using the timeline_event style % As a calculation I used (4.54 billion years / 12 months = 0.3785 billion years/month. - \node[timeline_event, above] at (2.0*\segmentwidth,1) {Mar 25 - First maritime bacteria and archae}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (4.50*\segmentwidth,1.5) {June 25 - First organisms with nuklei (eukaryotes)}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (7.8*\segmentwidth,-1.5) {Oct 4 - First bacteria on land}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (8.0*\segmentwidth,-2.25) {Oct 15 - First maritime ancestors of fungi}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (9.7*\segmentwidth,-2.75) {Nov 24 - Fungi on land}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (10.5*\segmentwidth,-3.25) {Dec 3 - Yeasts on land}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (10.2*\segmentwidth,0.5) {Dec 14 - First dinosaurs}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (9.8*\segmentwidth,1) {Dec 17 - Pangea begins to rift apart}; - \node[timeline_event, above] at (10.33*\segmentwidth,1.5) {Dec 29 - Dinosaurs go extinct}; - \node[timeline_event, above, anchor=east, align=right] at (11.75*\segmentwidth,2.5) {Dec 31 - First humans}; - \node[timeline_event, above, anchor=east, align=right] at (11.75*\segmentwidth,3.0) {Dec 31 - Sourdough in Jordan (23:59:55)}; - \node[timeline_event, above, anchor=east, align=right] at (11.75*\segmentwidth,3.5) {Dec 31 - Louis Pasteur isolated yeast (23:59:59)}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (2.5*\segmentwidth,1) {Mar 25:~First maritime bacteria and archae}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (4.50*\segmentwidth,1.5) {June 25:~First organisms with nuklei (eukaryotes)}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (7.8*\segmentwidth,-1.5) {Oct 4:~First bacteria on land}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (8.0*\segmentwidth,-2.25) {Oct 15:~First maritime ancestors of fungi}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (9.7*\segmentwidth,-2.75) {Nov 24:~Fungi on land}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (10.5*\segmentwidth,-3.25) {Dec 3:~Yeasts on land}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (10.2*\segmentwidth,0.5) {Dec 14:~First dinosaurs}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (9.8*\segmentwidth,1) {Dec 17:~Pangea begins to rift apart}; + \node[timeline_event, above] at (10.33*\segmentwidth,1.5) {Dec 29:~Dinosaurs go extinct}; + \node[timeline_event, above, anchor=east, align=right] at (11.75*\segmentwidth,2.5) {Dec 31:~First humans}; + \node[timeline_event, above, anchor=east, align=right] at (11.75*\segmentwidth,3.0) {Dec 31:~Sourdough in Jordan (23:59:55)}; + \node[timeline_event, above, anchor=east, align=right] at (11.75*\segmentwidth,3.5) {Dec 31:~Louis Pasteur isolated yeast (23:59:59)}; \end{tikzpicture}
