Hello,

I'm trying to generate a Gantt chart programmatically:
The chart has two axes:

  • vertical axis (base axis): Name of my elements
  • horizontal axis (that is the orthogonal axis to be filled with dates): dates




I create a chart, and a GanttSerie like this:

GanttDataSet phase1 = GanttDataSetImpl.create( new GanttEntry[]{
new GanttEntry( new CDateTime( 2009, 1, 1), new CDateTime( 2009, 1,15),"Name" )});
 
GanttSeries seriePhase1 = (GanttSeries) GanttSeriesImpl.create( );
taskPhase1.setDataSet( phase1);
 
SeriesDefinition sdY = SeriesDefinitionImpl.create( );
sdY.getSeriesPalette( ).shift( 2 );
sdY.getSeries( ).add( taskPhase1 );		
 
xAxisPrimary.getSeriesDefinitions( ).add( sdY );


All is OK.

I would like to add GanttEntry in my DataSett "phase1":
GanttDataSet phase1 = GanttDataSetImpl.create( new GanttEntry[]{
new GanttEntry( new CDateTime( 2009, 1, 1), new CDateTime( 2009, 1,15), "Name" ), 
new GanttEntry( new CDateTime( 2009, 1, 17), new CDateTime( 2009, 1,23),"Name2")
});


It generates an exception:

I don't understand why I could not add entry in the dataset.

Have you got an idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason,

Thanks a lot, it works fine.
I had an exception because the dataset for x axis (called categoryValues) has to contains the same number of elements as GanttEntry in the y-axis (phase1 for example).

So, I have another question:
In your source code, there are SampleData and OrthogonalSampleData. What is it ? is it sample data existing in the API (like CITIES...) ? When I execute your example, they are not displayed in the gantt chart ?

Thank you very much.

You do not need them. This is generally for the chart builder gui to
display something before using real data. BTW there are other examples
in the chart examples view that you can look at as well.
