Gantt Charts mixed with other charts

[ressystems]

We'd like to show a gantt chart, and overlay on it, or show just beneath it, a composite chart - with either a bar or a line graph on the chart.

 

 

 

This would allow us to chart, for example, the staff needed on a project, along with indicators of activity in a line, bar, area, or bullet chart.

 

 

 

Is this functionality that already exists, or that could be in v4? When might v4 be released? Is there any way to get a beta version of v4? We'd be happy to help bug test, etc...

Hi,

 

 

 

Thanks for your mail.

 

 

 

Currently, we do not have overlay in Gantt. Also, this is not in feature list for v4. While we've a plan to have drag-able task bars, this will not be present.

[ressystems]

Can you elaborate on the other v4 features for the gantt charts? We're interested in:

 

 

 

- Drag and drop tasks from one row to another (with some sort of JS callback to let us know that this was done)

 

- Drag tasks from one period to another

 

- Click on the start or end of the task to change the duration

 

- Allowing users to click or double-click on a task to get a pop-up (ideally, one we create in JS) to change some properties

 

 

 

Will any of this be available?

 

 

 

What is the time frame? Any idea what the cost for upgrading from v3 to v4 will be?

 

 

 

Thanks!

You can click on a task now and trigger a JS function, where you can modify a given task and resubmit the XML to the chart using either setDataXML or setDataURL.
