Gantt chart not displaying correctly (white space at end)

[maine_stevie69]

I have created a very simple gantt chart that shows the months Feb, March, April, May, June, and Sep ( i do not want to display July and Aug). In order to keep it more simple i havnt added any tasks so it should simply display the column heading accross the top.

Due to the months July and Aug being missing, i am getting white space at the end of the colums which messes up the graph. 

Is there anything i can do to resolve this (other than adding the months July and Aug which i cannot do, or at least i cannot display these months)

The gantt chart is below

The code is below

 

<graph dateFormat='dd/mm/yyyy' showTaskNames='1' ganttWidthPercent='100' forceGanttWidthPercent='0' canvasBorderColor='c4c5bd'<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  canvasBorderThickness='0' showBorder='0' hoverCapBgColor='ffffff' hoverCapBorderColor='c4c5bd'

  extendcategoryBg='0' ganttLineColor='c4c5bd' baseFontColor='4b4b4b' gridBorderColor='c4c5bd' showFullDataTable='1'

   

  chartBottomMargin='1' isBold='0' baseFont='Tahoma' baseFontSize='10'>

 

  <categories bgColor='d1e5f8' fontColor='4b4b4b' fontSize='11' isBold='0' gridBorderColor='c4c5bd' verticalPadding='5'>

  <category start='01/02/2007' end='28/02/2007' name='Feb' />

  <category start='01/03/2007' end='31/03/2007' name='Mar' />

  <category start='01/04/2007' end='30/04/2007' name='Apr' />

  <category start='01/05/2007' end='31/05/2007' name='May' />

  <category start='01/06/2007' end='30/06/2007' name='Jun' />

  <category start='01/09/2007' end='30/09/2007' name='Sep' />

  </categories>

  <processes positionInGrid='left' align='left' headerText='Initiatives' fontColor='4b4b4b'

  fontSize='11' isBold='0' isAnimated='1' bgColor='e9eef8' headerbgColor='d1e5f8' headerFontColor='4b4b4b'

  headerFontSize='11' headerIsBold='0' headerAlign='left'></processes>

  <tasks fontsize='11' color='f3c73f,f6bd0f' borderColor='f68c0f'></tasks>

</graph>

Steve,

 

 

 

Since the Gantt chart works on actual date/time values, you cannot skip months in between. The only option would be to provide empty labels for them - which could indicate that you do not want them to be interpreted on the chart.

Pallav,

Im not entirely sure what you mean by adding an empty label for them. Would Jul and Aug columns still be visible?  Could you give me an example?

Thanks

Steve

Actually I think i understand now. Do you mean do not add column text?

Yes - provide the date for the columns, but just provide empty string for their column names.

 

 

 

So, they'll look like actual months, but without names - which could be a visual hint that you intend to skip them.
