Gantt Charts are drawn within a table: rows are used for the activities and columns are

used as the time scale. The duration of each activity is represented by the length of a bar

plotted along this time scale.

The start of the bar is the beginning of the activity and the end of the bar is when the

activity should finish.

Colour-coding the bars can be used to categorise the activities into groups.

To show the percentage of completion of an activity, a bar can be partially filled in,

shaded differently or use a different colour, to differentiate between what is done and what is left

to do.

Connecting arrows can be used to show which tasks are dependent on each other and

vertical line running through the chart is used to highlight the current date.
