I want to display on one graph the dynamics of observing a certain parameter (say, weight) and events that could correlate with this parameter (say, visits to the hall). Those. input data of two types:
1) regular time series (a set of <date - value> pairs)
2) a set of events: name + dates (from - to)

It seems that the task is not to launch a rocket, but I just can’t find a tool for this. The best thing I could come up with was to draw a graph (1) in Excel, and glue the events with their hands in squares of their autoshapes. This is a bad way, because adding a new point to (1) changes the size of the graph and all my squares move out.

Help with advice, please!
