time "period" vs. time "interval" ?

["Monique Semp" <monique -dot- semp -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

Hello, WR-L-ers,

Iâve googled, and found nothing but confusion (or info thatâs tied to a particular softwareâs/classâs implementation) around when to use âtime periodâ vs. âtime intervalâ (and just for fun, âtime durationâ).

Anyone have a quick cheat-sheet sort of thing or an online reference you can point me to?

The context is describing how to âwork withâ charts/tables/reports (which Iâm calling âvisualizationsâ â thanks, Robert!), and the user can change the start and end times, and even the ârangeâ field, of the times that are shown as the x-axis.

Thanks,
-Monique
