Using predefined complex renderers
JViews Gantt provides prebuilt complex renderers made up of composite graphic objects. These complex renderers can be customized. They include a complex renderer supplied for use with data that includes the completion property as in the monitoringGantt example used in Getting started.
The following figure shows an activity bar with completion.
