Dear Google Charts experts :-)

I've been playing around with the Timeline chart. It's great because it's very easy to use. However, I stumbled upon quite some limitations:
  • It's not possible to adjust the height of the bars, or the amount of margin around them.
  • I cant format the labels of the hAxis. No suffix can be added (e.g. "12h"). No fonts can be applied, or textcolor, or font-size. And for some reason, two of the labels are in bold. (see image below)
  • It's not possible to add a text column on the right containing an extra set of information (for example, the sum of all hours in this row)
  • I can't move the hAxis to be displayed above the graph instead of below


Does anyone of you have a solution for these limitations? Or is there maybe a different library/chartsframeword (not from Google) that you suggest I should use? 


Thanks in advance!

Hi Jonathan,

Glad you like the Timeline chart.  Unfortunately, the customization options are limited at this time.   We'll take your list of limitations as suggestions for improvement, though the "text column on the right" is a bit of a stretch.
