gvisGantt: Google Gantt Chart with R googleChartName <- "ganttchart" gvisChartName <- "gvisGantt"

Description

A Gantt chart is a type of chart that illustrates the breakdown of a project into its component tasks.

Usage

gvisGantt(
  data,
  taskID = "",
  taskName = "",
  resource = "",
  start = "",
  end = "",
  duration = "",
  percentComplete = "",
  dependencies = "",
  options = list(),
  chartid
)

Value

paste(gvisChartName) returns list of class

paste(readLines(file.path(".", "inst", "mansections", "gvisOutputStructure.txt")))

Arguments

data

data.frame that contains the data to be visualised

taskID

a string that refers to the column name in data for the task ID to be used

taskName

a string that refers to the column name in data for the task name to be used

resource

a string that refers to the column name in data for the resource to be used

start

a string that refers to the date column name in data for the start dates

end

a string that refers to the date column name in data for the end dates

duration

a string that refers to the numeric column name in data for the task duration in milliseconds

percentComplete

a string that refers to the numeric column name in data for the percent complete to be used

dependencies

a string that refers to the column name in data for the dependencies to be used

options

list of configuration options. The options are documented in detail by Google online:

gsub("CHARTNAME", googleChartName, readLines(file.path(".", "inst", "mansections", "GoogleChartToolsURLConfigOptions.txt")))

paste(readLines(file.path(".", "inst", "mansections", "gvisOptions.txt")))

chartid

character. If missing (default) a random chart id will be generated based on chart type and tempfile
