|
|
|
29 |
<P> It is often of interest not only to show one title for a gantt bar
|
|
|
30 |
but often one wants to show, title, start date, end date, duration or
|
|
|
31 |
effort and so on. Up until now we have, to keep things simple only
|
|
|
32 |
shown a single title for each activity. We will now show you how you
|
|
|
33 |
can specify an arbitrary number of columns as titles for a Gantt chart
|
|
|
34 |
as well as adding icons in the graph columns.</P>
|
|
|
35 |
<P> First out is an example to help visualize what we will achieve<DIV class="example">
|
|
|

40 |
<P></P>
|
|
|
41 |
</DIV></P>
|
|
|
42 |
<P> To use multiple columns there is two steps. First you need to set
|
|
|
43 |
the titles (name, color, fonts etc). Thereafter you need to add the
|
|
|
44 |
title columns for each individual bar.</P>
|
|
|
45 |
<P> To set the columns you will have to work with the<I> Activity
|
|
|
46 |
information</I> property of the scale. The following code excerpt show
|
|
|
47 |
this<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000"> <FONT color="#0000BB">

|
|
|
59 |
</P>
|
|
|
60 |
<P>You will notice two things. We fist specify the titles using an
|
|
|
61 |
array. We have also specified a second array with the numbers 30 and
|
|
|
62 |
100. This is an optional array that specifies the minimum width of, in
|
|
|
63 |
this case, the first two columns. By default the columns will be wide
|
|
|
64 |
enough to hold the widest text string in the column. However for
|
|
|
65 |
esthetic reasons you might sometimes want to increase the minium width.
|
|
|
66 |
This is what we have done here for the first two columns.</P>
|
|
|
67 |
<P> Furthermore you can also adjust the background colors and the style
|
|
|
68 |
and colors of the vertical dividing grid lines. In the previous image
|
|
|

we used the lines<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000"> <FONT

<P> The style for the grid lines can also be "dashed", "dotted" or
|
|
|
94 |
"longdashed" as in other line formatting contexts within the library.
|
|
|
95 |
You can also adjust if you would like the small "3D" effect in the
|
|
|
96 |
titles. By default this is enabled. You can easily turn this of with a
|
|
|
97 |
call to<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000"> <FONT color="#0000BB">

|
|
|
102 |
</FONT></FONT></CODE></DIV></P>
|
|
|
103 |
<P> To adjust the colors of the vertical dividing lines in the title the
|
|
|
104 |
method SetColor() is used as in
|
|
|
105 |
"$graph->scale->actinfo->SetColor('navy');".</P>
|
|
|
106 |
<P> The second thins is to actually populate the columns. This is done
|
|
|
107 |
(of course) as you add the activity bars to the graph. Previous we just
|
|
|
108 |
used a string as the title when we wasn't using columns. By simply
|
|
|
109 |
replacing this string with an array we specify the content of the
|
|
|
110 |
columns.</P>
|
|
|
111 |
<P> For example to specify two column titles we just create a
|
|
|
112 |
hypothetical Gantt bar as In the full example above we put all this in
|
|
|
113 |
arrays to make for better coding practice since we create several bars.</P>
|
|
|
114 |
<P> In addition to ordinary text you can also add an image or any of the
|
|
|
115 |
predefined icons available. In order to add that in a column you first
|
|
|
116 |
create an instance of<I> IconImage()</I> and then specify that instance
|
|
|
117 |
instead of the text. So in the previous code snippet if we wanted a
|
|
|
118 |
"open folder" image in the first column we would change the lines to<DIV
|
|
|

<P> In addition you can also use any of you own images if you specify

151 |
the argument as a string, for example<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000">

|
|
|
156 |
<P> If you wonder, the second argument in the<I> IconImage()</I> call is
|
|
|
157 |
an optional scaling factor which you can use to adjust the size of the
|
|
|
158 |
image.</P>
