Hi Jon. I'll try to take a look just as soon as the semester's teaching
ends.

Subject: [Simile-Widgets] Re: Exhibit - Timeline How to display dates
before/after 9999 BC/AD
Hi David,
If you're still here maybe you can offer some guidance on this question
in the current context.
the timeline on this page
<http://neolography.com/staging/itinExhibitSketchIII.html> will plot at
date -9999-01-01, but not a date -10000-01-01 (both are in the
spreadsheet that supplies the data)
If I try this in the console:
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-9999-01-01")
SunDec31-1000023:59:02 GMT-0752(PacificStandardTime)
I see a valid date, but parsing "-10000-01-1" gives a valid date too,
but it's nevertheless not plotted on the timeline:
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-10000-01-01")
FriDec31-1000123:59:02 GMT-0752(PacificStandardTime)
I tried overriding the `_dateRegexp` as you suggested by doing this:
jQuery(document).on("registerComponents.exhibit",function(ev){
SimileAjax.DateTime._dateRegexp =newRegExp(
"^(-?)([0-9]{5})("+[
"(-?([0-9]{2})(-?([0-9]{2}))?)",// -month-dayOfMonth
"(-?([0-9]{3}))", // -dayOfYear
"(-?W([0-9]{2})(-?([1-7]))?)" // -Wweek-dayOfWeek
].join("|")+")?$"
);
});
the date regex appears to have been overridden:
SimileAjax.DateTime._dateRegexp
/^(-?)([0-9]{5})((-?([0-9]{2})(-?([0-9]{2}))?)|(-?([0-9]{3}))|(-?W([0-9]{2})(-?([1-7]))?))?$/
But the 5 digit date still isn't plotted on the timeline. but
`parseIso8601DateTime` functions as I would expect:
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-9999-01-01")
null
but:
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-09999-01-01")
SunDec31-1000023:59:02 GMT-0752(PacificStandardTime)
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-10000-01-01")
FriDec31-1000123:59:02 GMT-0752(PacificStandardTime)
I also tried overriding with this regex:
_dateRegexp:/^(-?)([0-9]{1,6})((-?([0-9]{2})(-?([0-9]{2}))?)|(-?([0-9]{3}))|(-?W([0-9]{2})(-?([1-7]))?))?$/
and that too seemed to work as I would expect such that:
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-001000-01-01")
TueDec31-100123:59:02 GMT-0752(PacificStandardTime)
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-10000-01-01")
FriDec31-1000123:59:02 GMT-0752(PacificStandardTime)
SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("-9999-01-01")
SunDec31-1000023:59:02 GMT-0752(PacificStandardTime)
But the timeline resolutely refuses to plot any date before -9999
Can you, or anyone listening, give me some idea of what I'm missing?
best,
Jon
PS The page at http://neolography.com/staging/itinExhibitSketchIII.html
is a test bed for solving a different set of problems. Please ignore
the naive experiments and talking to myself in the comments.

There are a few regex in that file that you can override to get
support
for 5 digit years.
<script>
SimileAjax.DateTime._dateRegexp = new RegExp(
"^(-?)([0-9]{5})(" + [
"(-?([0-9]{2})(-?([0-9]{2}))?)", // -month-dayOfMonth
"(-?([0-9]{3}))", // -dayOfYear
"(-?W([0-9]{2})(-?([1-7]))?)" // -Wweek-dayOfWeek
].join("|") + ")?$"
);
</script>
