These new features will be available in version 2.5 of VARCHART JGantt:

  • More flexibility of the time scale 

    More labelling options for the time scale will be available. The formats and positions of the texts can be specified individually, considering the sections as well as the different types of time scales and ribbons.

  • Enable modifying of defined hierarchy sub trees  

    The new JGantt property PreservedNodeHierarchyBy lets you specify whether the modification of the given hierarchy code is to be restricted. Thus you can ensure that in a JGantt application only the subtree of a hierarchy can be modified without affecting other sections of the tree structure.

  • Moving rows is now also possible in the table 

    Table rows can be moved by drag and drop. A special cursor indicates whether this is allowed or not. While dragging the row, its new position is indicated by a phantom line between the table rows to make orientation easier. This feature is only available in the JavaBeans component.

  • JGanttSynchronizerPanel 

    Often, two synchronized Gantt charts are needed in an application (e.g. for order processing) so that, for instance, orders can be assigned to resources by dragging them from one chart to the other. The new class JGanttSynchronizerPanel significantly simplifies the programming of such an application by automatically linking two JGantt objects. One JGantt object operates as master, its properties (e.g. time scale resolution or visible area) being passed over to the other JGantt object. Both instances use the same AppData and represent the entities of the same EntitySet. A filter lets you assign each entity to exactly one of the two JGantt objects.
