This function breaks the time string into lexical units (tokens), which can be parsed by the parser. Lexical units are demarcated by changes in the character set, so any continuous string of letters is considered one unit, any continuous string of numbers is considered one unit. The main complication arises from the fact that dots ('.') can be used both as separators (e.g. "Sep.20.2009") or decimal points (e.g. "4:30:21.447"). As such, it is necessary to read the full context of any dot-separated strings before breaking it into tokens; as such, this function maintains a "token stack", for when the ambiguous context demands that multiple tokens be parsed at once.
Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
