1. All measures are in pixels

ImageSize = width:1500 height:200 PlotArea = left:100 right:100 bottom:130 top:20 AlignBars = justify

DateFormat = yyyy Period = from:-50 till:300 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:5 start:-50

1. there is no automatic collision detection,
2. so shift texts up or down manually to avoid overlap

Define $dx = 25 # shift text to right side of bar

PlotData=

 bar:Leaders color:lavender width:40 mark:(line,white) align:left fontsize:M

 from:-14 till:36 shift:($dx,15)   text:Emperor Theon I
