Code Example

:point_right: Note: In order for the following code to work, you will need to download the matariki-tech-logo.png file to your local storage. The png file can be downloaded from the \images\logo\ folder.

from roadmapper.roadmap import Roadmap
from roadmapper.timelinemode import TimelineMode

roadmap = Roadmap(1200, 400, colour_theme="BLUEMOUNTAIN")
roadmap.set_title("My Demo Roadmap")
roadmap.set_subtitle("Matariki Technologies Ltd")
roadmap.set_timeline(TimelineMode.MONTHLY, start="2025-01-01", number_of_items=18)
roadmap.add_logo(
    "matariki-tech-logo.png",
    position="top-right",
    width=50,
    height=50,
)

group = roadmap.add_group("Core Product Work Stream")

task = group.add_task("Base Functionality", "2025-01-01", "2025-10-31")
task.add_milestone("v.1.0", "2025-02-15")
task.add_milestone("v.1.1", "2025-08-01")

parellel_task = task.add_parallel_task("Enhancements", "2025-11-15", "2026-03-31")
parellel_task.add_milestone("v.2.0", "2026-03-30")

task = group.add_task("Showcase #1", "2025-03-01", "2025-05-07")
task.add_parallel_task("Showcase #2", "2025-06-01", "2025-08-07")

roadmap.set_footer("Generated by Roadmapper")
