Re: Customize Gantt
I don’t believe it can, but Airtable provides an alternate pathway to custom visualizations using Vega-Lite. I believe using this new block it is possible to use the vast capabilities of Vega grammars to shape exactly what you want to display.
In a nutshell, a Gantt chart is really a class of bar chart whose bars do not start at ordinal zero. Armed with the Vega bar class, you can make almost anything imaginable.
This very simple example shows the data object in a simple Vega-Lite Gantt chart. You can even use the Vega-Lite editor to prototype the chart and then replace all except the data object in your block instance.
Possibly the case, but I would check out the latest Gantt View feature announced recently. I also created a simple GANTT-like chart using Vega-Lite block - needs a lot more work but I’m just too slammed right now to polish it.
This is the Vega-Light code -
{
"$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v4.json",
"title": "Class Schedule",
"width": "container",
"height": "container",
"mark": "bar",
"encoding": {
"y": {
"field": "Class Name",
"type" : "nominal"
},
"x": {
"timeUnit": "yearmonthdate",
"field": "Start Date",
"type": "ordinal"
},
"x2": {
"timeUnit": "yearmonthdate",
"field": "End Date"
}
}
}
