@clacke
I'm currently being updated to allow a parameter. Without a parameter the behaviour is unchanged.

Currently possible parameters are:

Help - print this message

LR - plot left-to-right instead of top-down

(*)Spine - Plot this toot and parents in a spine on the left, and descendents/replies streaming rightwards

(*)Down - Plot only descendents

(*)Context - Plot the parents without replies, and all descendents

Options marked (*) are not yet implemented

@ColinTheMathmo Is there a realistic hope that we'll see Spine? That feels like it would be a real jump in usability.

@clacke OK, this might actually work now:

Calling @Chartodon Spine ...

Now I need to make sure I didn't break anything else ...

Chartodon

@ColinTheMathmo

Your chart is ready, and can be found here:

solipsys.co.uk/Chartodon/11112

Things may have changed since I started compiling that, and some things may have been inaccessible.

In particular, the very nature of the fediverse means some toots may never have made it to my instance, in which case I can't see them, and can't include them.

The chart will eventually be deleted, so if you'd like to keep it, make sure you download a copy.

@clacke Thank you.

After a few weeks of trying it randomly I'll announce it properly.

Thanks for the motivation to get it done. It wasn't so bad ... the other options will be harder.
