[Orgmode] Visual representation of clocked time

2009-11-02 Thread Gennady Trafimenkov
Hello everyone, I was thinking that it would be nice to have a visual representation of clocked time. It could give you a quick overview of when and how long you had been working on a particular task. For example, you have a subtree like this: ** very important task CLOCK: [2009-10-03 Sat 22:
