10.7 Gantt bars

The most common of all object in a Gantt chart is of course the activity bar (GanttBar()). In terms of formatting this object has a very large flexibility. The full signature for the GanttBar constructor is

 function  GanttBar( $aVPos,$aTitle,$aStart ,$aEnd,$aCaption, $aHeight)

 $aVPos   The vertical position for the bar, [0..n]
 $aTitle   Title for the activity
 $aStart   Start date for the activity given as string, e.g "2001-09-22"
 $aEnd   End date for activity given as either a date (a string) or as the duration (in days) of the activity, e.g both "2001-10-15" and 20.5 are valid inputs
 $aCaption   Text string (caption) to appear at the end (right side) of the bar
 $aHeight   Height of bar given as either a value in range [0,1] in which case this is interpretated as what fraction of the vertical position should the bar occupy. The height can also be given in absolute pixels [1..200]
