Optimized Display of Overlapping Nodes

Overlapping activities are usually highlighted by a red underscore in one row. But how do you know how much the activities overlap each other? Optimize the view by arranging the overlapping activities one below the other. The row width will be adjusted automatically. This is one unique feature of VARCHART XGantt .NET and ActiveX Edition.

Workfree Periods & Capacities

Do you need to visualize different shift calendars and/or resource calendars in your application? With VARCHART XGantt, you can manage and visualize an individual work calendar per resource, and show worktime and non-worktime in the Gantt chart. In addition to this, you can show the resource capacities and their respective utilization in a histogram and clearly emphasize them.

Planning With Two Gantt Charts

The VARCHART XGantt Gantt chart control allows you to arrange multiple Gantt charts on top of each other. All charts will scroll synchronously This gives you a couple of interesting capabilities such as:

• Have one Gantt chart (e.g. at the top) for unassigned jobs and one with the concrete schedule. You can then drag jobs from the unassigned area and drop into the schedule.
• Have one Gantt chart for a high-level view, and the Gantt chart below revealing more details about the job that had been selected in the high-level chart.

Cross-linked Gantt Chart

Create clear-cut and unambigous links between acitivities with predecessor and successor dependencies. Use different link types between the layers/bars and thus highlight them. Create, modify or delete links interactively in the Gantt chart. Use our Time Scheduler that plans activities automatically by forward and backward calculation from earliest start and latest end date and calculates the critical path on the basis of this data and the float times.

Print Sections or the Complete Diagram

Our ActiveX and .NET Gantt chart control comes with powerful print capabilities. Define the page layout and view the result in the integrated page preview. Specify which diagram parts are to be repeated on each side and how title and legend are to be displayed. Have the time scale use the whole page width. Create pdf files to communicate your Gantt views in standardized electronical form.
