We are excited to announce our new Gantt Chart Objects! It’s really simple and easy to draw Gantt charts or come up with a quick time line for planning things.
Most times you simply need to explain your thinking about a project schedule, a sequence of events with a Gantt chart or a timeline, you end up having to use a tool like Microsoft Project or draw it manually using a drawing software. We have gotten rid of that complexity and have added some nifty features to make it faster and easier to draw Gantt charts, so you can have fun while planning your projects. Below are some templates created using our tools ( click to open in new window )
Below are some of the new Gantt chart features
1/ Quickly Draw Graphs with Drag and Drop Elements
Gantt Specific objects like Gantt Container, Timeline to quickly start drawing diagrams. Just drag and drop the elements to the drawing area.
2/ Easily Add Columns and Rows
Double click on the Gantt Container and You will be taken to a text editor. Add a row by simply adding a line break and add a column by adding a comma
3/ Smart Objects that Adjust Automatically
Increasing the length of the object automatically increases the unit number, dragging tasks adjust the connectors etc
