A special icon can be used for exactly dated event. These icons appear over the dates in each graphical element. Generally, all elements of a single color are displayed one near the others. These colors and the corresponding labels can be edited in a special dialog. Each chronological element is displayed the higher as possible in the table according to its Starting date.
New elements can thus climb at the top of the table to reduce the depth of the table.
But for a given year the sequence eras, names, events and floating datas are respected. Within each category, the color serves as a secondary level for classification. Other ways of sorting elements are avaliable. When some comments are included within an element, a black bullet is printed after the title of the element. These pictures are pasted into the edition dialog from the Pasteboard and are then saved as a resource within the file.
