[CLOSED] Milestone Timeline Graph?

Has anyone created a graph, or have suggestions for a type of graph to use to create a milestone timeline. The goal is to have a visual representation of how a study is progressing. The visual needs show a scaled timeline, that when a milestone is reached, it would get marked on the visual at the proper place, while also clearly being labeled as that milestone.

Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, while Gantt provides similar functionality to what is wanted, it does not do it visually.

Hi Cody,

Is this a WebFOCUS question? If so, can you please provide more specifics?

For milestone timeline, you may also want to look into Microsoft Project, and/or other project management tools.

Cheers,

Kerry

Cody,

I suspect that this is exactly the same question that you posted the image for.

The answers have got to be the same.

? can the process that generated that image be run as a command line process.

If yes then you can call them using a ! or SYSTEM function call to generate the image
and then include that in your report.

I expect that the method used to generate the image can only be used in the tools.

If you must generate what you are looking for in an application that requires a user
"GUI" interface then you can not expect WebFOCUS, powerful as it is, to do it.

A possible solution is to get a very smart JAVA man to create a JAVA app that can be called
via the command line.
