TimelinePlot¶

Plots dates and date intervals as events along a horizontal timeline.

Each date becomes a point marker; each DateInterval becomes a bar. Events are automatically stacked into rows so their labels don't overlap, and a date axis is drawn along the bottom.

$ wo 'Head[TimelinePlot[{DateObject[{2000}], DateObject[{2005}], DateObject[{2010}]}]]'
Graphics

Date lists ({y, m, d}) are accepted directly.

$ wo 'Head[TimelinePlot[{{2001, 1, 1}, {2003, 6, 15}}]]'
Graphics

Events can be labeled with Labeled, label -> date rules, or an association keyed by label.

$ wo 'Head[TimelinePlot[{Labeled[DateObject[{2000}], "Start"], Labeled[DateObject[{2010}], "End"]}]]'
Graphics

$ wo 'Head[TimelinePlot[<|"One" -> DateObject[{2000}], "Two" -> DateObject[{2004}]|>]]'
Graphics

A DateInterval is drawn as a bar spanning its start and end dates.

$ wo 'Head[TimelinePlot[{DateInterval[{DateObject[{2000}], DateObject[{2005}]}]}]]'

Options¶

• ImageSize — overall width in pixels (height grows with the number of stacked rows).
