Some sites have the need to present information in the form of time tables to let their users know about the schedule of activities.

This class provides a solution for rendering images with a graphical representation of the schedule time tables.

The definition of the time tables is read from XML files that are easy to create by hand. The definition include only the information about the respective days, time and duration of the activities, making it easy to present schedules in the pages of any site.

Detailed description:

This class is meant to render schedule time tables graphics from definitions in XML format.

The schedule definitions specify the days that will appear in one axis of the time table and the hours of the day that appear in the other axis.

The schedule include the definitions of the blocks of time that are allocated including the start time, duration of each period, and the allocated event or class.
