I've been spending quite some time looking for a charting plugin for time tracking, ie. Engine Time Tracking chart as following image:
A bit explanation:
green / red / gray denotes engine on / engine off / not available horizontal axis is the time line for each day vertical axis is every single day
I am just showing an example and expecting someone here has any idea about this kind of charting plugins. I am not sure whether HighCharts stacked bar chart can do that, since I want a status switching bar chart, not an accumulative one.
Thanks in advance.
You can try to use column range chart or stacked with datetime type of axis.

You should be able to do this in Flotr (which has a better license than highcharts) by just throwing what they showed in this blog post on its side.
