+"""Qiskit timeline drawer.
+
+This module provides a common user interface to the timeline drawer.
+The `draw` function takes a scheduled circuit to visualize, as well as a style sheet
+along with several control arguments.
+The drawer canvas object is internally initialized from the input data and
+the configured canvas is passed to one of the plotter APIs to generate a visualization data.

+       The ``target`` parameter needs to be specified in Qiskit 2.0 in order to get the
+       instruction durations.
+
+    Args:
+        program: Program to visualize. This program should be a `QuantumCircuit` which is
+            transpiled with a scheduling_method, thus containing gate time information.
+        style: Stylesheet options. This can be dictionary or preset stylesheet classes. See
+            :py:class:`~qiskit.visualization.timeline.stylesheets.IQXStandard`,
+            :py:class:`~qiskit.visualization.timeline.stylesheets.IQXSimple`, and

+            preset stylesheets. See also the stylesheet section for details of configuration keys.
+        time_range: Set horizontal axis limit.
+        disable_bits: List of qubits of classical bits not shown in the output image.
+        show_clbits: A control property to show classical bits.
+            Set `True` to show classical bits.
+        idle_wires: A control property to show idle timeline.
+            Set `True` to show timeline without gates.
+        plot_barriers: A control property to show barrier instructions.
+            Set `True` to show barrier instructions.
+        show_delays: A control property to show delay instructions.
+            Set `True` to show delay instructions.

+            Set `True` to show annotations.
+        plotter: Name of plotter API to generate an output image.
+            One of following APIs should be specified::
+
+                mpl: Matplotlib API
+                    Matplotlib API to generate 2D image. Timelines are placed along y axis with
+                    vertical offset. This API takes matplotlib.axes.Axes as `axis` input.
+
+            `axis` and `style` kwargs may depend on the plotter.
+        axis: Arbitrary object passed to the plotter. If this object is provided,
+            the plotters uses given `axis` instead of internally initializing a figure object.
+            This object format depends on the plotter. See plotters section for details.
+        filename: If provided the output image is dumped into a file under the filename.
+        target: The target for the backend the timeline is being generated for.
+        show_idle: DEPRECATED.
+        show_barriers: DEPRECATED.
+
+    Returns:
+        Visualization output data.
+
+        The returned data type depends on the `plotter`.
+        If matplotlib family is specified, this will be a `matplotlib.pyplot.Figure` data.
+        The returned data is generated by the `.get_image` method of the specified plotter API.

+
+    **Style Dict Details**
+
+    The stylesheet kwarg contains numerous options that define the style of the
+    output timeline visualization.
+    The stylesheet options can be classified into `formatter`, `generator` and `layout`.
+    Those options available in the stylesheet are defined below:
+
+    Args:
+        formatter.general.fig_width: Width of output image (default `14`).
+        formatter.general.fig_unit_height: Height of output image per timeline.
+            The sum of all timeline becomes the height of the output image (default `0.8`).
+        formatter.general.dpi: Dot per inch of image if `filename` is set (default `150`).
+        formatter.margin.top: Margin from the top boundary of the figure canvas to
+            the zero line of the first time slot (default `0.5`).
+        formatter.margin.bottom: Margin from the bottom boundary of the figure canvas to
+            the zero lien of the last time slot (default `0.5`).
+        formatter.margin.left_percent:  Margin from the left boundary of the figure canvas to
+            the left limit of the horizontal axis. The value is in units of percentage of
+            the whole program duration. If the duration is 100 and the value of 0.5 is set,
+            this keeps left margin of 5 (default `0.02`).
+        formatter.margin.right_percent: Margin from the right boundary of the figure canvas to
+            the right limit of the horizontal axis. The value is in units of percentage of
+            the whole program duration. If the duration is 100 and the value of 0.5 is set,
+            this keeps right margin of 5 (default `0.02`).
+        formatter.margin.link_interval_percent: Allowed overlap of gate links.
+            If multiple gate links are drawing within this range, links are horizontally
+            shifted not to overlap with each other. The value is in units of percentage of
+            the whole program duration (default `0.01`).
+        formatter.time_bucket.edge_dt: The length of round edge of gate boxes. Gate boxes are
+            smoothly faded in and out from the zero line. This value is in units of
+            the system cycle time dt (default `10`).
+        formatter.margin.minimum_duration: Minimum scheduled circuit duration.
+            If the duration of input circuit is below this value, horizontal limit is
+            set based on this value. This value is in units of
+            the system cycle time dt (default `50`).
+        formatter.color.background: Color code of the face color of canvas (default `#FFFFFF`).
+        formatter.color.timeslot: Face color of the time slot box (default `#DDDDDD`).
+        formatter.color.gate_name: Text color of the gate name annotations (default `#000000`).
+        formatter.color.bit_name: Text color of the bit label annotations (default `#000000`).
+        formatter.color.barrier: Line color of barriers (default `#222222`).
+        formatter.color.gates: A dictionary of the gate box or gate symbol colors
+            to use for each element type in the output visualization. The default
+            values are::

+        You can partially customize a preset stylesheet when call it::
+
+            my_style = {
+                'formatter.general.fig_width': 16,
+                'formatter.general.fig_unit_height': 1

+            style = IQXStandard(**my_style)
+
+            # draw
+            draw(qc, style=style)
+
+        In the same way as above, you can create custom generator or layout functions
+        and update existing stylesheet with custom functions.
+        This feature enables you to control the most of the appearance of the output image
+        without modifying the codebase of the scheduled circuit drawer.

+A collection of functions that decide the layout of an output image.
+See :py:mod:`~qiskit.visualization.timeline.types` for more info on the required data.
+
+There are 2 types of layout functions in this module.
+
+1. layout.bit_arrange
+
+In this stylesheet entry the input data is a list of `types.Bits` and returns a
+sorted list of `types.Bits`.
+
+
+The function signature of the layout is restricted to:
+
+    ```python
+
+    def my_layout(bits: List[types.Bits]) -> List[types.Bits]:
+
+        # your code here: sort input bits and return list of bits
+    ```
+
+2. layout.time_axis_map
+
+In this stylesheet entry the input data is `Tuple[int, int]` that represents horizontal
+axis limit of the output image. The layout function returns `types.HorizontalAxis` data
+which is consumed by the plotter API to make horizontal axis.
+
+The function signature of the layout is restricted to:
+
+    ```python
+
+    def my_layout(time_window: Tuple[int, int]) -> types.HorizontalAxis:
+
+        # your code here: create and return axis config
+    ```
+
+Arbitrary layout function satisfying the above format can be accepted.
