Only the "compact painter" will render images for duration events,
http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/misc/compact-painter/index2.html
But it's not released through Timeline yet, nor is it integrated into
Exhibit. If you really want it, then I'd recommend including
http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/timeline/api/timeline-api.js
before including exhibit-api.js, and then using this trick to construct
your own timeline
