Perforce JViews Gantt Sample: Activity and Resource Charts

Description

This sample shows how to coordinate the display of an activity-oriented Gantt chart and a resource-oriented Schedule chart when both charts are bound to the same Gantt data model.

How to Use the Sample

• The user interface of this sample consists of:
  • A standard Gantt chart with its toolbar in the upper panel of a horizontal JSplitPane.
  • A Schedule chart with its toolbar in the lower panel of the JSplitPane.
• Both charts are bound to the same data model. Modifications in one chart are dynamically reflected in the other. The vertical splitter and the horizontal scrolling behavior for both charts is synchronized.
• This sample has the following keyboard accelerators:
  • Ctrl+Z : zoom
  • Ctrl+U : unzoom
  • Ctrl+F : fit to view
  • Ctrl+Enter : toggle selected row expand/collapse
  • Ctrl+2 : increase row height
  • Ctrl+Shift+2 : decrease row height
  • Arrow Keys : scroll
• For information about other actions, refer to the Gantt Chart sample.

How to Run the Sample as an Application

This sample can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, dual-chart.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
