st: Plot start to end dates using spike command

Dear Statalist
I have some data in long format recording the start/end days of a period, the number of days in that period (days) and the day a separate event (eventday) occurred.
id start end days eventday
1 1 2 1 30
1 40 40 0
2 25 26 1 200
2 265 268 3
3 10 15 5 17
4 20 25 5 234
5 15 35 20 16
I have plotted these using the spike command.
Is it possible to have horiztonal lines connecting the start and end days (line of length 'days')? Put differently, plot a line of length 'days' starting at 'start'?
I can't seem to figure out how to start 'days' from 'start'.
*******EXAMPLE
gen length=365.25
twoway spike length id, lcolor(none)horizontal || scatter id days,ms(none) mlabpos(0) mlabsize(*2) || scatter id start || scatter id end || scatter id eventday, title("Time period and separate event") legend(order(3 "Start" 4 "End" 5 "Event"))
*****
Thank you in advance; any suggestions appreciated.
Gareth
