Styling Time Series

A timeline consists of a series of events visualized as points, titles, details, and spans. An EventPoint object is a marker that shows where an event belongs on the timeline. An EventTitle object displays a quick description of the event. The EventDetails object displays more information about the event in a pane that pops up as the AxisThumb object is placed on the event. The EventSpan is the horizontal bar that displays where an event begins and ends. There is also a LegendItem object which makes up the item inside the legend.
