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).
