ganttrify

ganttrify facilitates the creation of nice-looking Gantt charts, commonly used in project proposals and project management.

Motivation

It is possible to find online documented attempts at facilitating the

creation of Gantt charts from R. Some of them

(e.g. this

and this)

use ‘ggplot2’, but I feel they do not look very nice. The same goes for

the answers I found in the relevant Stackoverflow

question.

Even

Plotly

enables the creation of Gantt charts in R, but again, I don’t like the

end result.

I did find a solution that was rather visually

satisfying,

but it was in base R, and all the cool kids nowadays know that base

plotting in R exists only for compatibility with

S: not an option! (Hey, I’m joking,

don’t @ me!)

Given what is evidently my posh taste for Gantt charts, I had no other

option than making this package with a pretentious, gentrified name,

instead of the obvious “ganttr”.

Please welcome ganttrify.
