Timeline Chart (Image Shown)

[ssbruce22]

Can Canvas be used to make something like what it shown below?

Yes, you can use Range Bar Charts with StripLine for the same.

I have a hard time finding such a range bar chart example using dates for the intervals.

Could you point me to a working sample please?

Thanks,
Cristian

Cristian,

axisY doesn’t support datetime values as of now. However, you can workaround by converting dateTime to timestamp and formatting y-axis labels using labelFormatter. Please take a look at this JSFiddle for an example on creating timeline chart with the help of Range Bar chart.

Thanks, Suyash, but the activity chart may have multiple intervals for the same label, displayed on the same horizontal line.

I added another entry for “Walking” here.

Is there any way to get it displayed on the same line?

Thanks,
Cristian

Cristian,

You can display multiple intervals for same label by using x values in the dataPoints. Please have a look at this updated jsfiddle.
