Time-lines by BI-Champ

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!)
