Is there a library for visual tree-like display of data (events) over time?

Question

infographics

There is a need for a visual display of events in time. Events should be displayed in a tree-like manner (only not vertically, but horizontally), the X-axis is time (in years). Events can branch, split into a new branch, and/or merge back later.
A good example is images of *linux evolution, however in this example the point is to separate from one entity with the passage of time, in my case events will be more united. For example, you can specify companies that, over time, can either be divided into two companies, or be merged (absorbed) by other companies.

The most ideal option for me is a JavaScript library, because I want to display the result in the browser.
If anyone has encountered a similar need, I ask for help in finding a solution.

Answer 1

If you show a little imagination, then in fact such a tree can be represented as a large number of ordinary lines. Each branch is a separate timeseries. At the node where the branch occurs, the coordinates of the new line simply match the coordinates of the line from which the branch comes.
in this case, Highcharts is a very powerful and well-documented charting library.
From myself, I would recommend more (it seemed faster and more convenient for me personally) google charts - a powerful and simple api.
And by the way (apparently not so long ago) google charts just got the opportunity to build google charts word trees
