Contains controls to manipulate items of the current animation script. Displays when View > Timeline is selected in the Animation Producer dialog.

Timeline displays the various components of the animation as follows:

• Each row on the time line correlates to a row in the tree view.
• Header rows for the tree are displayed with a cyan background in the timeline.
• Items that are instantaneous, such as keyframes and settings, are displayed with a green vertical line.
• Items that have duration, such as paths, scripts, and included animations, are displayed as a blue horizontal line with vertical lines marking the start and end.
• When multiple items in a row happen at the same time the color will change to red to show simultaneous action.
• A blue double vertical bar that runs the entire height of the timeline display indicates the current time. This can be set by clicking and dragging the bar, or by right-clicking elsewhere in the timeline and selecting Set Time.

Modifying an item in the Timeline can be done via either of two ways, interactively or via a right-click menu.

• Interactive editing — lets you click and drag instantaneous items to a new frame/time. For duration items, you can click and drag the beginning/end points to reduce/increase the duration, or you can click in the middle and move the whole item (retaining the duration, but changing the beginning/end points).
• Interactive copying — lets you <Ctrl-drag> entries to copy them to a new location in the timeline.
• Right-click editing — lets you right click on the item and choosing Edit from the menu. This opens the relevant edit dialog for that item.
