Hello everyone,  
I have to make a segment chart with the time intervals as shown in the figure (first picture below). I started doing something similar by doing a simple trapezoidal function with integers on the abscissas and ordinates, loading all the data into a csv file and represented on Kibana Lens. Can you support me in this regard? Thank you for your kind attention

Hi @Mario_Sabetta ,

welcome to the Kibana community.

What you are trying to build looks quite close to a [Gantt chart](https://datavizcatalogue.com/methods/gantt_chart.html), and Lens cannot make this type of charts, yet.  
But you can have a try using Vega: [here's a similar discussion](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/gantt-chart-on-kibana-using-version-7-11/265917/2) about Gantt charts in Vega with some examples.
