Question: Is it possible to create a Milestone Trend Chart using the API?

A Milestone Trend Chart has input like this:
Milestone  | 2016-01-04 | 2016-01-11 | 2016-01-18
Complete X | 2016-02-01 | 2016-02-08 | 2016-02-08
Complete Y | 2016-03-01 | 2016-03-01 | 2016-03-15

The example above has 2 milestones. A new column is added each week, with the projected completion dates. So you can see that milestone Y slipped 2 weeks as reported in the 3rd column.
This is visualised with a chart as can be seen here or view many other examples using a google image search on "milestone trend chart".
Each milestone (row in the table above) results in a line.

An essential part of the visualisation, is that lower right half of the graph (triangle) is shaded differently to indicate that the lines can never go there. That diagonal is like a barrier.
Another convention, is that the dates go across the top of the graph (rather than the bottom).

So: can this be done using the visualization API?

Thanks, Michael
