I'd find it quite helpful in reviewing my agenda if there was an option
to skip displaying grid lines which happen in the middle of timed
appointments. Right now, I see the following:
Saturday 18 October 2008
8:00...... ----------------
10:00...... ----------------
12:00...... ----------------
14:00...... ----------------
16:00...... ----------------
Church: 17:30-19:00 Saturday service
18:00...... ----------------
master: 19:00...... People over for supper
20:00...... ----------------
If it could optionally and intelligently drop the 18:00 grid line
because there is a previous timed appointment overlapping it, the
resulting display would show me more clearly that I don't have time
between it and the next event.
Thanks,
- Michael

Hi Michael,
more in general, a more graphic representation would be nice, but
difficult. I don't have time for this, I am afraid.

Might I suggest a format similar to the one that the Cal-desk package
generates..
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/cal-desk-calendar.el
I don't have the lisp skill to take this on, but I would certainly
like to see this functionality in the agenda view!
A modified version of your appointments might then look like this:
Saturday, October 18, 2008
==========================
8:00
9:00
10:00
11:00
12:00
13:00
14:00
15:00
16:00
17:00
Church: :30 | Saturday service
18:00 |
master: 19:00 | People over for supper

After doing some poking around in the org-mode sources, I found out that
the particular behavior described above isn't overly difficult to
implement; in fact, half the work is already done (at least in the
org-mode in Emacs CVS). The first element of the `org-agenda-time-grid'
variable (the time grid options) supports an undocumented option
`remove-match' which causes `org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe' to remove
grid lines which exactly correspond to the start time of an event. It
is rather trivial to extend this logic to also remove grid lines
occluded by the duration of an event.
I have implemented this as a defadvice for
`org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe' (I like to implement my org-mode logic
changes as defadvice so that they work on top of pristine org-mode and I
don't have to keep patches in sync or installed). Code follows, if
anyone wants to throw it in their .emacs:
(defadvice org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe (around mde-org-agenda-grid-tweakify
(list ndays todayp))
(if (member 'remove-match (car org-agenda-time-grid))
(flet ((extract-window
(line)
(let ((start (get-text-property 1 'time-of-day line))
(dur (get-text-property 1 'duration line)))
(cond
((and start dur) (cons start dur))
(start start)
(t nil)))))
(let* ((windows (delq nil (mapcar 'extract-window list)))
(org-agenda-time-grid
(list (car org-agenda-time-grid)
(cadr org-agenda-time-grid)
(remove-if
(lambda (time)
(find-if (lambda (w)
(if (numberp w)
(equal w time)
(and (>= time (car w))
(< time (+ (car w) (cdr w))))))
windows))
(caddr org-agenda-time-grid)))))
ad-do-it))
ad-do-it))
(ad-activate 'org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe)

Hey Michael,
you have just catapulted yourself onto the list of possible successors
when I will quit as maintainer of Org... :-)
Good work - I don't think it works completely yet, though.
When I have
* new one
<2008-10-21 Tue 08:01-11:55>
* new two
<2008-10-21 Tue 13:59-14:55>
Then I get this agenda:
Day-agenda (W43):
Tuesday 21 October 2008
8:00...... ----------------
past: 8:01-11:55 new one
11:00...... ----------------
12:00...... ----------------
13:00...... ----------------
past: 13:59-14:55 new two
15:00...... ----------------
16:00...... ----------------
17:00...... ----------------
18:00...... ----------------
20:00...... ----------------
The line at 11:00 should be gone as well.

I think I've found the problem. I was computing the end time by adding
minutes to start time, which doesn't quite work for obvious reasons.
I've fixed it in the following code.
(defadvice org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe (around mde-org-agenda-grid-tweakify
(list ndays todayp))
(if (member 'remove-match (car org-agenda-time-grid))
(flet ((extract-window
(line)
(let ((start (get-text-property 1 'time-of-day line))
(dur (get-text-property 1 'duration line)))
(cond
((and start dur) (cons start dur))
(start start)
(t nil))))
(duration-add
(time duration)
(+ time (* 100 (/ duration 60)) (% duration 60))))
(let* ((windows (delq nil (mapcar 'extract-window list)))
(org-agenda-time-grid
(list (car org-agenda-time-grid)
(cadr org-agenda-time-grid)
(remove-if
(lambda (time)
(find-if (lambda (w)
(if (numberp w)
(equal w time)
(and (>= time (car w))
(< time (duration-add
(car w) (cdr w))))))
windows))
(caddr org-agenda-time-grid)))))
ad-do-it))
ad-do-it))
(ad-activate 'org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe)

Hi Micheal,
this looks good, thanks.
I have added this code to Worg, and will consider to move it onto Org.
