Perforce JViews Gantt Sample: Activity Chart Rendering (CSS)

Description

This sample demonstrates the styling capability for the Gantt chart component using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

How to Use the Sample

• Use the Default Style combo box on the right side of the panel to choose a style sheet to apply on the chart. The first item in the list, "Default Style", displays the default attributes. That is, no style sheet is applied.
• Use the View source toggle button to display a superimposed view of the style sheet contents.

How to Run the Sample as an Application

This sample can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, css-gantt.jar, that allows you to execute the sample with a double click from a file browser. Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, you can open the installation directory and execute the JAR file from the browser. This technique may not work in other Web browsers.

Alternatively, you can run the sample application from the command line. First check that the Ant utility is properly configured. If not, see the instructions on how to configure Ant for Perforce JViews.

Then, go to the installation directory of the sample and type:

ant run
