ZeroZero Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I am trying to build a "geological clock" First here is a description of the software device: The device will consist of concentric circles The first or outer circle will represent 14 billion years, on this will be the age of the universe (circa 13.8 billion years) On this circle will be represented the birth of the sun the earth and the moon The next circle will be the "Earth circle" On this will be represented the eons of the earth the Hadean, the Archean, the Proterozoic and the Phanerozoic. The next inner circle would represent the Phanerozoic eon and would be divided the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic The next inner circle would contain the three periods: the Paleogene, Neogene, and Quaternary; Next would be the Quaternary this would contain the Pleistocene (2.588 million years ago to 11.7 thousand years ago) and the Holocene (11.7 thousand years ago to today) |The next inner circle would contain the Holocene and would contain milestones in the development of homo Software? Which software could I use to develop such a tool? If it were intereactive this would be a bonus. I am hoping to be able to click on regions aand bring up associated text If anyone could help I would be grateful thank you all Edited December 28, 2017 by ZeroZero
fiveworlds Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 D3.js can do that for you or Google charts. https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart Highchart.js can too but it is paid software. https://www.highcharts.com/demo/pie-donut
ZeroZero Posted December 28, 2017 Author Posted December 28, 2017 I have been looking at pie chart type software in Excel. The problem is that the chart 'divides' the pie into parts. That is not what is required, its more like a clock which marks a particulart moment in time. There is also the question of concentric circles - how that is realised in software
