What's an appropriate word for “timestrip”

Question

I'm not a native English speaker and I have to describe a certain scenario or a component that actually represents a strip of time. This strip would actually look similar to this with some point on it:

|00:00    |01:00   |02:00   |03:00   |04:00 ....
|___________________________________________ _ _
|
|___________________________________________ _ _

I have to write formal documentation but don't know what would be the best name for this kind of visual representation of time. I feel that using timestrip may not be best.

Answer 1

This is called a timeline.

A graphical representation of a chronological sequence of events (past or future); a chronology.
