No, that's what you need to do.
The EventSource fires the onAddMany event.
This is bound in the Band.prototype._onAddMany function to call
this._paintEvents(), which calls .paint() on the eventPainter for that Band.
Make sure that your JSON data matches the expected members for a new Event, and
that you aren't getting any errors adding the evt to the eventSource (e.g.
malformed dates). Also check that your new events are actually within the
visible portion of the timeline. If you add events that are too far away from
the visible timeline, you might not see anything happen when you repaint.
