As a library

integrate elegantt into your python projects for advanced usage:

import elegantt

# Define chart properties
chartsize = (720,320)
bgcolor = (255,255,255)

# Create a Gant chart object
gchart = elegantt.EleGantt( chartsize, bgcolor, today="2019-10-15")

# Draw calendar and campains
gchart.draw_calendar()
gchart.draw_campain("2019-10-15","2019-10-18","Task 1")
gchart.draw_campain("2019-10-20","2019-10-23","Task 2")
gchart.draw_campain("2019-10-24","2019-10-30","Task 3")
gchart.save("gantt_chart.png")

or auto_draw for mermaid or markdown format

import elegantt

s = """
    task a  :done, des1, 2024-06-15, 2024-06-18
    task b  :active, des2, 2024-06-20, 2d
    task c  :         des3, after des2, 3d
"""
gchart = elegantt.EleGantt(today="2024-06-18")
gchart.auto_draw(s, mode="mermaid")
gchart.save("gantt_chart.png")

If you want to specify fonts, write set_font() before draw_calendar() or auto_draw().

import elegantt

s = """
    task a  :done, des1, 2024-06-15, 2024-06-18
    task b  :active, des2, 2024-06-20, 2d
    task c  :         des3, after des2, 3d
"""
gchart = elegantt.EleGantt(today="2024-06-18")
gchart.set_font("C:\Windows\Fonts\meiryo.ttc")
gchart.auto_draw(s, mode="mermaid")
gchart.save("gantt_chart.png")

If you want to draw gantt chart on Google colab, import IPython and write like this.

import elegantt
from IPython.display import display

g = elegantt.EleGantt()
s = """
Task A: 2024-07-08,3d
Taks B: 3d
"""
g.auto_draw(s)
display(g.im)

You can set holidays like this.

gchart = elegantt.EleGantt(today="2024-06-18")
gchart.set_holidays(["2024-06-19",2024-06-25])

You can also set holidays with holidays lib.

import holidays
import pandas as pd

jp_holiday = holidays.country_holidays('JP')
my_holidays = []
days = 10

date_list = pd.date_range(
    start=pd.Timestamp("today").normalize(),
    end=pd.Timestamp("today")+pd.Timedelta(days=days)
).tolist()

for date in date_list:
  if date in jp_holiday:
    print(date, jp_holiday.get(date))
    my_holidays.append(date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
  else:
    print(date)

gchart.set_holidays(my_holidays)

You can change color like this.

gchart = elegantt.EleGantt(today="2024-06-18")
gchart.parse_color_schema('{"bg_color":[255,255,255],"bar_color":[0,103,192]}')

more...

g = elegantt.EleGantt()
g.parse_color_schema('{"#red":[255,0,0]}')
s = """
task a : 3d
task b #red: 3d
task c : 1d
"""
g.auto_draw(s)
g.save("test.png")
