I am using a google timeline similar to the code snippet below. I want my chart to look like the one below. I have managed to get everything to work expect how to add the dashed lines and text notation. Unfortunately, when I am searching for annotations I keep getting the AnnotatedTimeline, which is a different google chart.
Is there a simple way to do this?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['timeline']});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var container = document.getElementById('timeline');
var chart = new google.visualization.Timeline(container);
var dataTable = new google.visualization.DataTable();
dataTable.addColumn({ type: 'string', id: 'President' });
dataTable.addColumn({ type: 'date', id: 'Start' });
dataTable.addColumn({ type: 'date', id: 'End' });
dataTable.addRows([
[ 'Washington', new Date(1789, 3, 30), new Date(1797, 2, 4) ],
[ 'Adams', new Date(1797, 2, 4), new Date(1801, 2, 4) ],
[ 'Jefferson', new Date(1801, 2, 4), new Date(1809, 2, 4) ]]);
chart.draw(dataTable);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="timeline" style="height: 180px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
I was able to get this to work by finding the position of the rects. I started by drawing divs for each line I would want to show. Then after the timeline is draw I repositions those divs based on the location of the rectangle. I was not able to get a good minimal working snippet here because of the window positions used in the snippet code, but I got pretty close. In my own code I have it working perfectly.
.hline {
border-left: 5px solid black;
height: 100px;
position:absolute;
visibility:hidden;
top:144px;
}
