Is there a way to change the mode from stacked to grouped in a timelion chart.The graph i need with timelion is a bar chart.

You can pass `stack=true` to the `.bars()` function, like so:
```auto
.es(geo.src:US).bars(stack=true),.es(geo.src:CN).bars(stack=true)
```

Oh, I'm sorry, I misread the original post, there isn't any way to do grouped bars in timelion as far as I can tell. Best I've been able to do is use decreasing widths to roughly simulate grouping:
```auto
.es(geo.src:US).bars(stack=false width=10),.es(geo.src:CN).bars(stack=false width=5)
```
