Hi everyone,

Do you know how i could plot a timeline like this : [[Creating a timeline with lines, dates, and text — Matplotlib 3.1.3 documentation](https://matplotlib.org/3.1.3/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/timeline.html)]  
Or at least wich package do you recommend ?

Thank you  
Valentine

I haven’t seen this pre-canned anywhere, but given this is a matplotlib plot, I guess [https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyPlot.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyPlot.jl) would be the easiest option?

Yes I thought of that too but I can’t install Matplotlib,necessary for the Pyplot package, on my work computer because of very strict authorizations. So I was wondering if Julia could have a similar package.

I don’t know what your work computer is, but are you sure you can’t [install a user only version of the matplotlib package](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52290477/python-installing-matplotlib-locally)?
