#Summary
Time Maps: Visualizing Discrete Events Accross Many Timescales
is an essay written by Max Watson that addresses the visualization of discrete events.
This essay is mainly about the use of time maps to visualize discrete event data.
An initial example is presented to illustrate the problem of using histograms to plot
discrete event data. The dataset is "website visits by a certain IP over 7 months".
The main problem is that the time scale chosen in the plot (month per month),
hides trends and details that are impossible to see in the histogram. Because of
this the author proposes the use of time maps.
