I am trying to develop a graph to show personnel working for a given time in a project. From what I understand, a Gantt chart is a common way to represent this. However, WebFocus 5.3 doesn't appear to openly support it.

So far, I have managed to edit my graph procedure like so...

ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH GANTT

This tricks the Developer Studio Graph Designer into displaying a picture of Gantt chart and a short description. However, the rest of the wizard manages to mangle all of my data, and I end up with something much unlike a Gantt chart.

If somebody has been able to figure this out, I would be much obliged if you could share your findings.

i've written an article on Focus on Developers
that shows how to hand code a gantt chart.
Its called GRAPHTYPE: Kicking It Up A Notch
You do have to hand code, tho.
Simpler, you might like using just the stylesheet entry TYPE=GRAPHTYPE (which is illustrated in that article) to produce a gantt-like element right in the output table.

Hi Josh,

FYI, Gantt charts do exist in Graph Engines, however, there are only 2 sentences in the Creating Reports With WebFOCUS Language Manual for versions 5.2., 5.3, and 7.1, that deal with this topic:

"Provides a visual representation of project oriented time critical events.
Gantt charts require six display fields and one sort field, in that order.
Conditional styling and drill-down are not supported for GANTT charts."

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Big Grin

Kerry
