Chapter 39: Timeline.addLabel()

Core Idea

addLabel() marks a named position/time in the timeline so later methods can reference it instead of a raw number.

Reference Tables

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
label	String	—	the label's name
position	Number | String	"+=0"	where to place it

Returns: self.

Code Examples

tl.addLabel("start2").to(".box", { x: 100 }, "start2");

Key Takeaways

1. Labels make sequences readable and resilient to reordering — reference "start2" instead of a fragile absolute time.
