I am using **.min** method in kibana timelion. My string is something like this:  
`.es().bars(stack=false).color(#F44336), .min(.es(), 25).bars(stack=false).color(#8BC34A)`  
This is taken from [https://www.elastic.co/blog/timelion-tutorial-from-zero-to-hero](https://www.elastic.co/blog/timelion-tutorial-from-zero-to-hero)

Now, I am able to create this graph but unable to label the 2 parts correctly.

Also, if I use **.label('my label')** it only works for the green part, not the red part.  
I want to label both of them individually.

I have not experimented much with labels in Timelion, but I can cross link to a post which explains generation of Timelion labels dynamically .. hope this helps,

> Hi, I am using split function in timelion to do a term aggregation and to produce mutliple lines by grouping. The query is quite long and I want to set a custom label, which includes fields of the query. Example: I split for the filed type. That gives me 3 lines, one for (type1, type2, type3) Now I want to set a custom lable, which should be as following: "my very own static text" [type] So this should result into: my very own static text type1 my very own static text type2 my very ow…

Thank you!!  
That is useful, but not in my case. I ended up creating the same graph with a different approach. I used **.if()** clauses for creating graphs.
