I'm trying to layout my Gantt Chart created with plotly and found some nice inspiration HERE. I use a DataFrame that looks like this:
Task year ehead Start Resource exity Finish 0 Afghanistan 1946 Mohammad Zahir Shah 1946-11-08 5 2008 1953-09-20 1 Afghanistan 1953 Sardar Mohammad Daoud 1953-09-20 3 2008 1963-03-01 2 Afghanistan 1963 Mohammad Zahir Shah 1963-03-01 5 2008 1973-07-17 3 Afghanistan 1973 Sardar Mohammad Daoud 1973-07-17 3 2008 1978-04-30 4 Afghanistan 1978 Nur Mohammad Taraki 1978-04-30 3 2008 1979-12-27 The result is supposed to be a Gantt Chart of all leaders in the world since 1945, when they were in charge and so on. Each country is one line. Each color is a type of regime (from democracy to dictatorship)
The documentation for Gantt Charts by plotly is not helping too much, especially for Python.
My current code looks like this:
df_dd_gantt_short = df.DataFrame fig = ff.create_gantt(df_dd_gantt_short, colors=colors, index_col='Resource', show_colorbar=False, title='Regimes in history worldwide', showgrid_x=True, group_tasks=True) plotly.offline.plot(fig, filename='regimes.html') I have a ton of questions, but the most important ones first:
Can I make round ends for each bar, so different leaders are clearly recognizable?
How can I create a legend on the bottom? In the current code I disabled the colorbar on the right as it is hidden on the bottom of a (never ending) scrolling frame.
As you can see on the image, the left side is weirdly cut off, is there a way to make that row wider?
How can I pick the whole bar as hover space instead of the ends and can I use my DataFrame as source for more info like here? I guess the whole loop thing is necessary for making all those changes above as well?
Thanks for your help!
