the
titles.

Going through the code, it looks like none of the event painters are actually 
using
the params.showText setting. So while
timeline.getBand(0).getEventPainter()._params.showText is correctly set to 
false,
none of the current set of event painters are using this value :(.

The root cause for this issue is incorrect documentation (since corrected). In 
ver 1
of Timeline, the parameter showEventText was used to change a regular Timeline 
band
into an "overview" band with no event titles.

For version 2 and later, the way to get an overview band is to add the parameter
overview: true to the arguments for Timeline.createBandInfo

See Step 6 on page 
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_GettingStarted

This is the page that was wrong.

Documentation is an on-going effort. Thank you for your understanding and 
patience.

The documentation here:

   http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/docs/create-timelines.html

Still recommends using the showEventText boolean.
