Timeline problem with latex
My objective is to create a timeline with 5 different date (13.10.13, 01.05.14, 31.05.14, 05.06.14 and 10.06.14) with:
- a brace called "Estimation WIndow 200 days from 13.10.13 to 01.05.14
- a brace called "Event Window +/-5 days from 31.05.14 to 10.06.14
- a point on the 05.06.14 called "Event day"
the packages that I have uploades are:
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing,positioning, arrows.meta}
The code that I wroted is the following:
begin{tikzpicture}
% draw horizontal line
draw[thick, -Triangle] (0,0) -- (ImageWidth,0) node[font=scriptsize,below left=3pt and -8pt]{years};
% draw vertical lines
foreach x in {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
draw (x cm,3pt) -- (x cm,-3pt);
foreach x/descr in {4/t-2,5/t-1,6/t,7/t+1}
node[font=scriptsize, text height=1.75ex,
text depth=.5ex] at (x,-.3) {$descr$};
% draw node
draw[ultra thick] (2,0) node[below=3pt,thick] {13.10.2013} node[above=3pt] {};
draw[ultra thick] (3,0) node[below=3pt,thick] {01.05.2014} node[above=3pt] {};
draw[ultra thick] (4,0) node[below=3pt,thick] {31.04.2014} node[above=3pt] {};
draw[ultra thick] (5,0) node[below=3pt,thick] {05.06.2014} node[above=3pt] {};
draw[ultra thick] (6,0) node[below=3pt, thick] {10.06.2014} node[above=3pt] {};
draw [thick ,decorate,decoration={brace,amplitude=5pt}] (2,0.7) -- +(3,0)
node [black,midway,above=4pt, font=scriptsize] {Estimation Window 200 days};
draw [thick ,decorate,decoration={brace,amplitude=5pt}] (4,0.7) -- +(6,0)
node [black,midway,above=4pt, font=scriptsize] {Event Window +/-5 days};
end{tikzpicture}
The result that I obtain is:

What is the problem? Can someone help me?
