Timeline.create()
This creates a new Timeline object and associated the object with an HTML <canvas> object. As the canvas is indicated via a unique ID, it is possible for an HTML page to display more than one discrete timeline.
The create() function has one required parameter: element.
The overall width/height are set in the canvas element's HTML attributes. The height should be the total of bandHeights and scaleHeight if either/both these are being customised.
Optional additional parameters are added as a comma-delimited list of named objects. For example:
var theTimeline_timeline=Timeline.create({
element:"timeline",
bandHeights:[78],
bands:[],
backgroundColor:'#f2f2e6',
bandColor:'#d5ccc3"'});
