Time-lines let you depict events with relative duration and elapsed time, and can be an effective way to tell a story that involves dates and text. This is extremely well-suited to building compelling infographics.

There are a wide variety of formatting options, including:

Can group events by week, month, quarter or year
Optionally specify end dates, thereby showing date ranges
Control colors through settings or data
Categorization of events
Interactive filtering
Display images alongside events
Format settings such as how to delimit grouped events
Many other size, shape, and layout settings (50+ settings available!)
