What kind of data formats does Timeplot support?
Currently, Timeplot is able to read tabular data in textual format where the first column is a ISO8601 date (yyyy-mm-dd will do, for example) and the column are separated by the same characters (here, you can use space, tab, comma, pipe or any string you want, as long as it’s the same across all columns). The reason for such a simple format is to maximize the ability for people to find Timeplot immediately useful and start to expose their data to the web in a more natural form. Note that the date handling for Timeplot has no notion of missing points; that is, if the value of your data on some days is 0, you must explicitly state as much in your data instead of skipping that point altogether. Also, Timeplot reuses the Timeline data fetching subsystem so it’s capable of getting event data from any source that can feed Timeline.
