Installation

Dependencies: TimingAndEstimationPlugin was needed in 0.4 and earlier versions to feed the database with estimates and totalhours custom tickets. Browser must be able render SVG natively and support the html tag iframe. The latest Firefox, Opera and Safari browser versions should work.

  1. Get source files and install it:
    svn co http://trac-hacks.org/svn/timevisualizerplugin/branches/TimeVisualizer_0.6
    cd TimeVisualizer_0.6
    python setup.py install
    
  2. Edit your trac.ini file to enable the plugin:
    [components]
    <...other components...>
    tractimevisualizerplugin.* = enabled
    
  3. Restart server to propagate changes.

Usage

To test graphs and filtering, access "http://server:port/path_to_trac_env/tractimevisualizer". It will render the hours from the whole project's life cycle.

More practical is to get graphs from some a certain time frame and filter the hours based on milestone and/or component. This is achieved with macro BurnDown. I wrote this plugin to replace ScrumBurndownPlugin because its graphing capabilities were limited and it modifies the database schema.

In my example project, I have a wiki page with following content:

[[BurnDown(width=800,height=200,query=targetmilestone=mile1&datestart=08/8/07&dateend=8/22/07)]]

[[BurnDown(width=400,height=200,query=targetmilestone=mile1&datestart=08/8/07&dateend=8/15/07)]]
[[BurnDown(width=400,height=200,query=targetmilestone=mile1&datestart=08/15/07&dateend=8/22/07)]]

It renders the following graphs (picture is cropped to fit better on this page):
