  68. </p>
  69. <pre class="prettyprint lang-html">&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;
  70. &lt;html&gt;
  71. &lt;head&gt;

  85. require.config({
  86. paths: {
  87. vis: 'path/to/vis',

  98. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  99. var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, data, options);
  100. </pre>
  101. <p>
  102. Where <code>container</code> is an HTML element, <code>data</code> is
  103. an Array with data or a DataSet, and <code>options</code> is an optional
  104. object with configuration options for the component.
