The chart can either be automatically displayed in your browser or saved as html.

## Installation

```console
pip install g_gantt
```

## Quick Start

Import g_gantt and datetime for date()
```
import g_gantt
from datetime import datetime

chart = g_gantt.Chart("Example Chart Title")

chart.add_task(
    task_id="T1",
    task_label="Task 1", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=date(2024,10,1),
    end=None, 
    duration=1,
    dependencies=None,
    percent_complete=100,
    )

chart.add_task(
    task_id="T2",
    task_label="Task 2", 
    resource="Resource 2",
    start=date(2024,10,3),
    end=date(2024,10,5), 
    duration=None,
    dependencies="T1",
    percent_complete=30,
    )

chart.add_task(
    task_id="T3",
    task_label="Task 3", 
    resource="Resource 2",
    start=None,
    end=None, 
    duration=3,
    dependencies="T1,T2",
    percent_complete=0,
    )

chart.enable_critical_path(True)

chart.set_dimensions(1500,1000)

chart.show()

chart.save('gantt_chart.html')
```

## Guide
### Imports
To get started import g_gantt and import datetime for access to date()
```
import g_gantt
from datetime import date
```

First initalize a chart object with your gantt chart title

```
chart = g_gantt.Chart("Example Chart Title")
```

### Initatilzation
To initalize a chart object the only input you need is your title!
```
chart = Chart("Example Chart Title")
```

### Add Tasks
Tasks are added to a chart object with the add_task() function.
There are many different valid input combinations, below are a few 

Basic add_task with all fields defined, and laid out for readability
```
chart.add_task(
    task_id="T2",
    task_label="Task 2", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=date(2024,10,1),
    end=None, 
    duration=1,
    dependencies="T1",
    percent_complete=100,
    )
```

Task with inputs accepted in default order, and no spacing for readability (Not recommedned)
```
chart.add_task("T2","Task 2","Resource 1",date(2024,10,1),None,1,"T1",100)
```

Task with only a duration (Easiest, and best for critical path)
```
chart.add_task(
    task_id="T1",
    task_label="Task 1", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=None,
    end=None, 
    duration=1,
    dependencies=None,
    percent_complete=100,
    )
```

Task with a Start and an End date
```
chart.add_task(
    task_id="T1",
    task_label="Task 1", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=date(2024,10,1),
    end=date(2024,10,5), 
    duration=None,
    dependencies=None,
    percent_complete=100,
    )
```

Task with a Start Date and a Duration
```
chart.add_task(
    task_id="T1",
    task_label="Task 1", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=date(2024,10,1),
    end=None, 
    duration=1,
    dependencies=None,
    percent_complete=100,
    )
```

Task with an End Date and a Duration
```
chart.add_task(
    task_id="T1",
    task_label="Task 1", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=None,
    end=date(2024,10,5), 
    duration=1,
    dependencies=None,
    percent_complete=100,
    )
```

Task with multiple dependencies
```
chart.add_task(
    task_id="T1",
    task_label="Task 1", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=date(2024,10,1),
    end=date(2024,10,5), 
    duration=None,
    dependencies="T1,T2,T3",
    percent_complete=100,
    )
```

Task with half a day as duration
```
chart.add_task(
    task_id="T1",
    task_label="Task 1", 
    resource="Resource 1",
    start=date(2024,10,1),
    end=None, 
    duration=.5,
    dependencies="T1,T2,T3",
    percent_complete=100,
    )
```
