有人能解释如何使用 chronology.sty 或提供一些实时（有用）文档的链接吗？
更详细地说：我正在为我的学术论文制定大纲和时间表。我开始https://stackoverflow.com/questions/217834/how-to-create-a-timeline-with-latex我发现 Levi Wiseman 的 chronology.sty 产生了非常接近我想要的输出，但应该在http://tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/chronology/chronology.pdf不再有效。我尽我所能检查了 chronology.sty 文件，并推断出参数 #1 = 步长、#2 = 年份开始、#3 = 年份停止、#4 = 单位和 #5 = 时间线宽度。但是我似乎无法让我的时间线按预期运行。
我希望我的时间线周期为 2013 年中至 2014 年末的 18 个月，每个月都有大分隔符，每周都有小分隔符。我的“事件”将需要 \decimaldate 精度。我知道该包可能有一些错误，请参阅链接年表随意添加空白。我会通过电子邮件将此请求发送给 Levi Wiseman。
答案1
这是使用不灵活且缓慢的时间线的第一个概念蒂克兹和日期编号，明天我会进一步研究这个问题：
代码
\documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{datenumber}
\usepackage{xifthen}
\begin{document}
\setdatenumber{2013}{06}{19}
% 560 days or 80 weeks until new years eve 2014
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[-stealth] (0,0) -- (16,0) -- ++(0.3,0);
% 16cm = 80 weeks --> one week = 0.2cm
\pgfmathsetmacro{\width}{16/560}
\foreach \x in {0,...,80}
{ \draw (\x/5,0) -- (\x/5,-0.05) node[left,rotate=90,font=\tiny] {\thedateday-\thedatemonth-\thedateyear};
\addtocounter{datenumber}{7}
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}
}
\setdatenumber{2013}{06}{19}
\foreach \x in {0,...,560}
{ \ifthenelse{\thedateday = 1}
{ \ifcase\thedatemonth
\or \xdef\monthname{Jan}
\or \xdef\monthname{Feb}

\or \xdef\monthname{Sep}
\or \xdef\monthname{Oct}
\or \xdef\monthname{Nov}
\or \xdef\monthname{Dec}
\else
\fi
\draw (\x/35,0) -- (\x/35,0.25) node[right,rotate=90,font=\tiny] {\monthname\ \thedateyear};
%\draw (\x/35,0) -- (\x/35,0.25) node[right,rotate=90,font=\tiny] {\thedatemonth \thedateyear};
}{}
\addtocounter{datenumber}{1}
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}
}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
输出
编辑1：这是一个自动版本，实际上可以进行一些自定义，并且有一个添加条目的命令。还有很大的改进空间，例如，可以将时间线参数合并到命令中\drawtimeline，键值界面会很好等等。
