Hi eveyone,

I'm trying to do something that seems really simple to me but i still don't
know how to do.  I want to draw a timeline that represents the stages of a
research project (inception, research, presentation, writing, submission,
publication...)  and I would like it to look something like this:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\                             \
 \                             \
  inception                research

only I want it to be pretty, say with little circular nodes connecting the
diagonal lines to the main horizontal lines, and with the text aligned
diagonally along the lines.  Is there an easy way to do this in org, and
will it export say to html?  Or if not in org, some way to generate the
graphic from a set of datapoints?  I imagine this must exist but I don't
often make charts and graphics so I don't know how to do it.

Anyway, I appreciate your help.  Thanks,
Matt
