how do you get ProjectPlan to look like the thumbnail example_render2s.png?

To recreate the ProjectPlan image you might follow the following steps

1. create project structure and tickets (skip this if you are familiar with Trac)
   • create version named "Version 1.0"
   • create version named "Version 2.0"
   • create milestone named "Project Preparation"
   • create milestone named "Development"
   • create milestone named "Bugs known already"
   • create milestone named "Extension and Maintenance"
   • create the tickets
     • ticket #1 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Project Preparation"
     • ticket #2 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Project Preparation"
     • ticket #3 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Development"
     • ticket #5 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Development"
     • ticket #7 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Development"
     • ticket #8 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Development"
     • ticket #9 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Development"
     • ticket #10 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Development"
     • ticket #14 applied to "Version 1.0" and milestone "Bugs known already"
     • ticket #16 applied to "Version 2.0" and milestone "Extension and Maintenance"
     • ticket #17 applied to "Version 2.0" and milestone "Extension and Maintenance"
     • ticket #18 applied to "Version 2.0" and milestone "Extension and Maintenance"

2. Prepare the Trac instance for special ProjectPlan functionality
   • adapt trac.ini while adding custom fields to the tickets, making them known to the ProjectPlanPlugin, and setting up the configuration for graphviz/dot
3. set the ticket dependencies
   • this is most important to render a network-like project plan (I assume that was the problem in your case)
   • add "1" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #2
   • add "2" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #3
   • add "2" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #8
   • add "3" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #5
   • add "3" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #7
   • add "3, 8" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #9
   • add "5, 7, 9, 14" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #10
   • add "10" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #16
   • add "10" to the ticket dependencies field of ticket #17
4. finally add the following macro to a wiki page and enjoy
   • [[ProjectPlan(renderer=gvrender)]] will compute the following image
   • if you like, update the color settings using the Trac admin panel

I'm sorry for slipping your ticket for such a long time. Do not hesitate to ask more questions.
