Perforce JViews Gantt Sample: Relative Time Scale

Description

This sample demonstrates the capability of the Time Scale component by customizing the time scale rows. The time scale rows are numbered relative to a reference date.

How to Use the Sample

You can change the format of the day and the week rows for the time scale.
You can change the visibility of day and the week rows.
You can change the alignment of the time scale text labels.

How to Run the Sample as an Application

This sample can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, relative-time-scale.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
