[[PageOutline(2-5,Contents,pullout)]] = Display Gantt chart of Trac milestones == Description This is a plugin to create Gantt-like charts in Trac. This plugin is primarily designed to give a Trac Gantt-like view of the milestones, NOT the tickets. It is our experience that reporting Gantt charts on tickets becomes overwhelming and is unnecessary. Hence, we have created this plugin. We also believe that start date association with milestones is useless. Hence, our Gantt chart doesn't have bars inset from one another, like in a normal Gantt chart, but all of the bars start at the earliest point in time and go to their Due Date, while the Actual bars go from the earliest point in time and go to the Completed Date. When ordered by Due Date this results in a stair step looking Gantt chart. After implementing the above (the current code base), we decided that in most situations it produces an uninteresting graph. Given our firm belief that our original argument was valid we have decided to now implement a hybrid. We will add support for a special "flashgantt" ticket type. Beyond that the custom-ticket fields "Start Date", "Due Date", "Dev Lead", "Des Lead", and "Proj Manager" will be added. The completed date will be the date at which a ticket is closed. Hence, we will then chart on the Gantt these "flashgantt" tickets as they would appear on a normal Gantt chart as well as chart their related milestones to produce a more useful and interesting graph. This plugin uses [http://www.fusioncharts.com/Free/ FusionCharts Free], which is no longer under active development.
