A Timeline Chart lays out events and periods along a horizontal time axis, combining range bars for durations with moment markers for single-date occurrences to tell a chronological story.
This sample spans over two thousand years of Roman civilization, from the founding of Rome through the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Range series depict the reigns of major rulers and the lifespans of successive states, while moment series mark wars, battles, and turning points. Click-to-zoom navigation, era-aware date formatting (BC/AD), custom zoom buttons, and rich HTML tooltips with images bring the data to life.
Follow the step-by-step Timeline Chart Tutorial to learn how such charts are built. See the Timeline Chart documentation for all configuration options.
