Is there a way to "fitVertical()" the Timeline?

[pauljayd]

I would like to be able to execute a function to casue the Timeline to expand such that no items are out-of-view (vertically) at the current date. IS there any way to do this?

Thanks

What do you mean by expand? The height becomes bigger?

THanks for the quick response -- sorry I wasn't clear:
I would like to be able to execute a function such that given the current view (height & width) and centered date, the zoom would be set such that no items are out of view vertically (which would require either dragging up/down or scrolling).
If no item is then visible, perhaps an option would be to move forward/backward to the nearest date with an item.
Does this make sense?
Thanks.

Sorry but I'm still not clear on what you mean... Do you mean assuming you have many groups and there are items only on the center groups, that the timeline will focus on them?
The fitVertical option doesn't make sense because there is no vertical scaling done. Maybe you mean verticalFocus. It still isn't clear to me the purpose of it.

Sorry again that I'm not making myself clear.
Given a Timeline with a fixed height and zoom level, some items may be vertically out-of-view or cut (see image 1):

Notice the blue box-shadow at top, where item 2 is cut off.

At this point, I would like to execute a function, say "fitVertical()" such that the
zoom level is adjusted so that all out-of-view vertical items are brought into view (see image2):

Thus, the box shadow has disappeared, and of course the zoom has changed.
I want this to be able to present the timeline without forcing the user to scroll or drag (at
least in the initial view).
Does this make sense?

much clearer! Thanks! No way to do this yet. I'll add this as a feature request!

I've now branched out to a new fork of my own including only Timeline.
I've applied a fix for this here: https://github.com/yotamberk/timeline-plus
and can be used via npm here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/timeline-plus
