Thanks Tobias, I looked at the example you pointed to. It is close to what I am trying to do however, the short coming there is that all the events have to be 'duration' event. As soon as I put a non-duration (instant) event that is next to a duration event then it doesn't display on the same track. Also, with duration event I cannot use icons and I definitely want to use icons to denote the point in times of a duration event.
I was hoping if a duration event could have nested events that can be either duration or non-duration then it will occupy same track and can be denoted using icons (for non-duration) and track colors (for duration).
