Resizing GUI should also resize content

Annotations to the map can only be added or removed, but not edited

Select event -> Edit... -> Update causes all annotations to be lost

• Name and description fields should also be provided for annotations so that their purpose is apparent
• Name and description could be shown upon map hover

Could include literature references, e.g.

• Wikipedia
• Bible passages
• URLs

Could be displayed in a custom collapsable pane

• Add option to change the basemap image (currently it is hardcoded)
• Could add pane for several base map images which are valid for specific date ranges

Currently, only very simple shapes can be drawn on the map - squares and circles. It would be better if a wide variety could be drawn. Perhaps a vector graphics library could be used for this. It would also be nice if the annotation system allowed drawing the shapes directly on the map, rather than having to open dialogs and input coordinates.

Originally, the project intended to have a Gantt-chart style display underneath the timeline, but this was simplified due to time constraints. If implemented this could be a very useful way of visualising events.

Currently, only shapefiles are supported, but GeoTiff should also be supported as this is a widely used format, e.g. http://calvert.hul.harvard.edu:8080/opengeoportal/

Currently, ttm files are just JSON of all the event and annotation data, and just have an absolute reference to the map resource files. At the very least it would be good if the reference was relative (e.g. same folder) but even better if the map resource could be embedded somehow
