79 - Events on Timeline
Increasing insight into text by plotting events chronological on a timeline.
Plotting events chronological on a timeline increases the insight. Some example setups for plots are:
- Document Timeline: document publishing date vs document title
- Sentence Timeline: date, timestamp or period vs its sentence (demo)
- Dispersion Plot: the location (word offset) of a keyword in a text
