<H3><A NAME="10_7_5">10.7.5 Adding markers to a gantt bar</A></H3>
<P> You can easily add a variety of markers both to the start and end of
 the gantt bar. They could for example be used as an alternate way to
 illustrate important milestones or anticipated deliveries.</P>
<P> The left and right markers are accessed through the two properties
 'leftMark' and 'rightMark'. They are both instances of the general
 'PlotMark' class which is also used for the milestones (and in line
 graphs). The 'PlotMark' class supports several different styles, for
 example, diamond (the default for milestones), filled and unfilled
 circles, squares, stares, and so on. Please refer to the reference
 section for a complete listing.</P>
<P> Let's illustrate this by adding a right marker to the previous
 example. We will use a style of a filled (red) circle with a white
 title, say, &quot;M5&quot;. In order to accomplish this we must augment the
 previous example with the following lines:<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT

<P> This might seem like a lot of lines but this is as complicated as it
 possible can get. As an illustration in the example belwo more or less
 everything that is changeable has been changed, the default font,
 font-color, fill-color, frame-color and width of marker. The two lines
 only really necessary are the first two, showing the mark and setting a
 title. One could still get a good result by using default values for
 the rest of the properties.</P>
<P> The resulting image can be seen in Figure 151 below.<DIV class="example">
<BR> <A href="exframes/frame_ganttex08.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
HEIGHT="243"  src="img/ganttex08.png" WIDTH="502"></A>
<BR><B>Figure 151:</B> Adding a right marker to a bar. <A href="exframes/frame_ganttex08.html"
target="blank">[src]</A>&nbsp;
<P></P>
</DIV></P>
<P> We have deliberately introduced a &quot;strangeness&quot; here. If the
 previous two examples are compared it can bee seen that the last
 example is larger than the previous one. Why?</P>
<P> The explanation is trivial once we recall that the height of bars
 are sized relative to the horizontal spacing. The horizontal spacing
 are based on the highest single bar including title size and, here come
 the explanation, marker size. The horizontal spacing has grown since
 the minimum height is now based on 10 points(=the height of the mark).
 The bar still occupy the same percentage of the height so it seems to
 have grown.</P>
<P> If this behavior is unwanted it is always possible to specify an
 absolute size for the bar heigh, say 8 pixels, with a call<DIV class="phpscript">
<CODE><FONT color="#000000"> <FONT color="#0000BB">&nbsp;$activity</FONT><FONT
color="#007700">-&gt;</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB">SetHeight</FONT><FONT color="#007700">
(</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB">8</FONT><FONT color="#007700">);</FONT><FONT
color="#0000BB"></FONT></FONT></CODE></DIV></P>
<P> and achieve the result in Figure 152 below.<DIV class="example">
<BR> <A href="exframes/frame_ganttex09.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
HEIGHT="243"  src="img/ganttex09.png" WIDTH="502"></A>
<BR><B>Figure 152:</B> Specifying an absolute size for the height of the
 bar. <A href="exframes/frame_ganttex09.html" target="blank">[src]</A>&nbsp;
<P></P>
</DIV></P>
<P> It is worth noting that the height reserved for each bar is still
 the same since we haven't changed the height of the marker and the
 reserved space is the maximum height used by any bar.</P>
