feature inquiry: Change rectangles to other objects

[Hojnicki]

Thank you for creating this incredibly useful package. Quick Question: Is there any way to modify specific rectangular boxes to other shapes? For example, perhaps I want to show events on a timeline as standard rectangles, but I want to show decision points as a star or something other. How would I go about changing the shape? (I understand I could potentially add an icon inside the rectangle like your world cup example, looking for something else) Thank you

You'll have to look at the documentation for the underlying javascript library to see if this is possible. Their documentation is at https://visjs.github.io/vis-timeline/docs/timeline/

If it's possible to do there, then it would very likely be possible to replicate with {timevis}. This package only provides a binding to the javascript library and I can support any issues with this package, but I can't provide support for how to use the underlying library.
