Ability to create a Timeline-like Row Series #2037
Description
Sometimes there is a need to plot not a point but a line/bar that represents for example a time interval. It should likely work the same way as Candle bars, but oriented horizontally instead of vertically. It should also be possible to have several such bars/intervals on a single row as long as they do not overlap.
Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps some modification of the current RowSeries with a custom mapper that will use a 3rd value on the Coordinate that would represent the width (length) of the bar/interval in the X Axis's coordinates.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Use additional line series, but the issue is they would require 2 data points to define a single "bar" - the starting and ending one, not to mention the fact that there needs to be one series for each bar. And, the bar itself is not hoverable/selectable - only the datapoints are selectable which makes it behave weirdly.
Additional context
Imagine a timeline-like view of certain events with durations being laid out alongside normal XY Cartesian line graph for example. For instance: population growth from 5000 BC to present day would be represented by a line series, and important events or eras would be represented by these new bar series with lengths.
