User (Legacy) Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 I'm trying to annotate items in a Gantt chart. Has anyone done that? I'd like to put three lines of text next to each "box" in a Gantt chart but the I can't figure out how to get the Attach to work in a Gantt chart for any annotation.

User (Legacy) Posted October 24, 2001 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 I'm fairly convinced that approach just isn't going to work... How do I put categories on the Y axis and dates on the X axis. With that I think I can meet my needs.

User (Legacy) Posted October 25, 2001 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 OK... This time I'll just describe the requirements for what I'm trying to do... Can any guru help me do this? I really need to have this done by 29 Oct. **************************************************** - Vertical Axis - Names of projects - Horizontal Axis - Dates (I just need to put a large cube or rectangle... I do NOT need to show start AND end of project - just put the box on the end of the project) - Active links - when you click on the rectangle it takes you to a page with more detail on the project. (currently have that working on many different types of charts.) And now the kicker... - Annotation - I want to list three key features just to the right of box. **************************************************** Rather than ask for the answer to a specific implementation, I thought I'd tell you what I'm trying to do. Some times you get answers much faster that way. "Karl" <karl@lgc.com> wrote in message news:bgR7QnKXBHA.1684@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > I'm trying to annotate items in a Gantt chart.

Software FX Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Using annotations in a Gantt chart is no different than any other chart except that the axes are reversed. You can still attach objects but the X coordinate of the object now means the vertical and the Y is the horizontal. I don't exactly understand where do you want the boxes too appear, are the boxes the bars (data) ? If you can draw what you want to get, I can probably help you achieve it. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted October 25, 2001 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 HEADLINE: What should the Obj.Attach statement look like in this case? Let's see if I have this right: The X coordinate is date, and the Y coordinate is the project (uses .Legend to label the project) so the code snip would be: objChart.IniValueEx(0,i) = strStartDate(i) objChart.ValueEx(0,i) = strFinishDate(i) objChart.Legend(i) = strCodeName(i) How does the objChart.Attach look? I've tried the following: Obj.Attach 1, "5, 1/1/2002" Obj.Attach 1, "1/1/2002, 5" and various other combinations... What should that statement look like? How do I input date coordinates?

Software FX Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Attach only takes numbers so you need to convert that date to a number by doing: d = CDate("1/1/2002") Obj.Attach 1, "5, " & Str(d) -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
