[Feature] Printable Gantt Chart

[jvantslot]

Currently printing of gantt charts are not possible in ERPNext.

This is a feature request for the ability to do so, using the existing Print link that shows on an existing gantt chart.

This feature request is in reference to this ERPNext forum post.

Definitely useful. We share project plans with our customers and don't always want to make it collaborative but sometimes just inform.

Absolutely I thoroughly agree

I think a lot of users will find this functionality to be useful. Horizontally scrolling the chart is not as easy as referring to a printout.

any updates on this features request?

I am trying to print the gantt chart using print format.

Using google charts I add the gantt (testing), but when I generate the pdf is not showing the chart.

Preview (there is the gantt!!)

PDF generated (there is no gantt )

Interesting. Getting print outs of Gantt charts is still important for firms such as ours in manufacturing where not everything can be on the screen some has to be on paper.
I would ask Faris @netchampfaris if he has any comments on this behaviour and whether it can be easily improved.

A very much required feature for

• manufacturing

wondering what could be challenge that this is still open. Once we know challenges, possibly folks may have their inputs and can help.

Hi, made temporary a solution that uses 'svg-export.js' which can be found online. This allows saving the Gantt as pdf but it will require some custom coding to implement.

Thought I would post as may be of interest to those who need at add this feature now?

Hi @Hussein140
Your solution is working, but pdf contains black background which i cant change to white.
The same situation is on official frappe example: https://frappe.io/gantt

Any solution?

[currantdev]

with svg-export.js this is simple and working like a charm.
https://github.com/sharonchoong/svg-exportJS
svgExport.downloadJpeg(document.getElementById("gantt"), "gantt-export",{ width: $("#gantt").width(), height: $("#gantt").height() });
