Dear all,<br />
<br />
I am just trying to do a gantt-chart with pst-gantt, and getting along well, but would like to know, if the following things are possible:<br />
<br />
1.) As basis unit I use "Quarter", because "Month" is to fragmented to me for a period of 3 years. But if I use non-integer-values for the task duration or beginning, the decimals are put to the upper left corner of the drawing. The tasks position (respective to the time-axis) are still moved, but I can not really figure out how far the respective decimals make them move. (I would not mind, about the decimals being plotted, for removing them I would use Inkscape) It seems a little, that in the Calculation a Quarter is taken to be 6 weeks.<br />
If I use TaskUnitType=Month, I get an error message stating I only should use "Quarter". I also looked at "pst-gantt.tex" but could not find the definition for "Quarter". So I would like to know, how to move the beginning of a task to e.g., the third month of a quarter.<br />
<br />
2.) Is it possible to only have the headings of the respective Years shown (e.g., Year 1, Year 2) instead of the quarters, but still to retain the dashed lines for each quarter? I think with showing all the Quarter Headings, makes it to crammed.<br />
<br />
3.) Is it possible to remove the border of bars for the respective tasks? Or to have them follow the gradient as well as the filling of the bars as stated in the last example in the pst-gantt-manual (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-gantt/pst-gantt-doc.pdf)?<br />
<br />
4.) I also would like to know if there is a different (more convenient) way to get the task description in two lines, like in the third task in the example below. It works, but seems to me a little hacked. I think many users would want this, in order to be able to put longer descriptions in their tasks.<br />
<br />
So here is my example code. The time descriptors are in german, since the output shall be in german as well. Though there seems to be no difference with english descriptors.<br />
<br />
I could not really figure out, what "TaskUnitIntervalValue" does, so I uncommented it. For this I also woult like to have enlightenment. ;-) When somebody can figure out some of my requests I hereby volunteer to put nice examples together to be added to the (for me obviously :-) little short) package-manual.<br />

Hopefully, I made myself clear, I'm happy to provide any further details.<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
