Example 1: Setting the RadTimeline Intervals

 <telerik:RadTimeline.Intervals> 
       <telerik:CenturyInterval /> 
       <telerik:DecadeInterval /> 
       <telerik:YearInterval /> 
       <telerik:MonthInterval/> 
  </telerik:RadTimeline.Intervals> 

• IntervalSpans: It is used to group the given interval items together. Example 2 shows how you can group the seconds in groups of 10. Example 3 demonstrates that you can also set more than one IntervalSpan simultaneously by separating them with comma.

Example 2: Setting the IntervalSpans

<telerik:RadTimeline.Intervals> 
   <telerik:YearInterval IntervalSpans="10"/> 
</telerik:RadTimeline.Intervals> 

Example 3: Setting multiple IntervalSpans

<telerik:RadTimeline.Intervals> 
   <telerik:YearInterval IntervalSpans="1,5" /> 
   <telerik:MonthInterval IntervalSpans="1,6" /> 
</telerik:RadTimeline.Intervals> 

• MinZoomRange and MaxZoomRange: These properties set the minimum and maximum range that the TimeLine can be zoomed.
