accept any date range of data and to be able to display the data without the
need for horizontal scrolling. The main advantage of this component is
that you can display project data and then print it out on a single 8 1/2 * 11
or C4 page. Then timeline component is a display component only, no data
manipulation is performed with it.
Projects or tasks are displayed as horizontal bars with a vertical green bar
indicating the start date and a red bar indicating the end date. The dates
are displayed to avoid confusion. The current date is displayed down the
