A system and method for graphically showing the order and timing of
elements in a presentation program or other software. The sequence of
events is shown in an event list, a list of events in sequence order,
each event being associated with an event timeline bar and correlated
with a universal timeline, in the editing window of an electronic
presentation or other software that deals with the scheduling of events.
In one embodiment, each item in the list represents an individual
animation effect. Elements of the event list are logically related to
each other and these logical relationships may be used in assisting a
user to build a sequence of events (e.g., an animation sequence).
