====== Time scales tab ======

The **Time axis** tab allows you to configure the information
displayed along the temporal axis of the Time-Location schedule.

These elements form the **time scales** used to identify
dates and periods in the view.

Several scale lines can be displayed simultaneously
to improve the readability of the schedule.

For example:

  * **months**
  * **weeks**
  * **days**

===== Interface organisation =====

The interface is composed of two main sections:

  * management of the **time lines**
  * editing the **parameters of a line**

The upper section allows you to add, remove or reorganise
the different scale lines.

The lower section allows you to modify the parameters
of the selected line.

-----

===== Time line and opposite line =====

As with the distance axis, time scales can be displayed
on two sides of the schedule:

  * **Time line**
  * **Opposite time line**

This allows time markers to appear on multiple
edges of the view.

-----

===== Available line types =====

Two types of lines can be used to display
time markers:

  * **single line**
  * **composite line**

The following sections explain how to configure
each of these line types.
