*1. An undulating, broken, or calibrated line indicating [[successive]] [[points]] of [[time]], used as a [[reference]] line for ascertaining the rate or [[timing]] of something.

A '''timeline''' is a way of displaying a list of [[events]] in chronological order, sometimes described as a project artifact. It is typically a graphic [[design]] showing a long bar labeled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events labeled on [[points]] where they would have happened. Timelines are often used in [[education]] to help [[students]] and [[researchers]] with understanding [[events]] and [[trends]] for a particular subject.

Timelines can take use any time [[scale]], depending on the subject and [[data]]. Most timelines use a [[linear]] scale, where a unit of distance is [[equal]] to a set amount of [[time]]. This time scale is dependent on the [[events]] in the timeline. A timeline of [[evolution]] can be over millions of years, whereas a timeline about the September 11, 2001 can take place over minutes. While most timelines use a linear timescale, for very large or small times pans, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_timeline logarithmic timelines] use a logarithmic scale to depict time.
