Introduction
The chronology of the Marvel Universe is rather complex and difficult to get an overview of. A way to make it easier is to illustrate the chronology with a two-dimensionell graph. This Java program creates graphs from the figures chronology lists. You can use lists that you've made yourself or the lists that are being done by The Marvel Chronology Project.

The program has a lot of functions. I've tried to make it self instructive but I highly recommened that you read the step by step guide to get started and the documentation for descriptions of all functions in the program.
If you have any questions or comments you can leave a message at the forum or send me a mail.

    Background
    The idea of presenting Marvel chronology in graph form comes from the text based graphs found at www.chronology.net. My first idea was to write a small program that build graphs automatically from the figures chronological lists. I have developed the program several times since then but that is still the basic idea. I'm just a hobby programmer and some parts of the code is quite ugly. But if you are curious you can download the source:
