st: Horizontal time line graph of individual with time events

[Jannik Helweg-Larsen <jhelweg@dadlnet.dk>]

Hi

I'm searching for a way to illustrate  horizontal timelines with
markers for individual  time events, preferably in line with this very
nice graph- but been unable to identify the right kind of graph

http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/52/suppl_1/S102/F1.expansion.html

Although I realise that this kind of  detailed graphical display is
not routinely available- I would like to find som sort of graphing
which comes close to this example:

Is there a name for such a graph?

To give a concrete example (real data):

For each individual influenza patients hospitalized I would like to
graph time (days) on horizontal lines starting from onset of symptoms
illustrating  the total time of hospitalisation, with indicators along
these lines with:

1) Admission days after symptomstart
2) First day PCR positive for Influenza
3) Last Day PCR positive
4) Days after symptomstart  starting tamiflu
5) Days after symptomstart  stopping tamiflu

  id   sympstart     admdate    firstpcr     lastpcr   tamistart
tamistop      lastfu
