Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to make research proposal including a gantt style chart?

[SKKhan]

Thanks. Any suggestion for me.

I did not yet understand the specific question. Just that you want to merge code somehow and what the general goal is. Not yet what doesn't work. So i don't see the possibility to help you this time, as I don't have the time to create a whole diagram. I just looked here from time to time if I could provide some quick help. Maybe next time with another question. For now, I'm busy with some other work.

See you later,

Stefan

The question was finally answered. The issue was the gantt chart not fitting on a page.

Torbjørn provided an answer in which the chart is placed on a landscape page.

For completeness, the code of the example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}

\usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text, remove in your own document

\usepackage{geometry} % to change margins
\usepackage{pdflscape} % provides the landscape environment
\usepackage{ragged2e} % provides \RaggedLeft
