Overview

This README provides information about a Python script designed to create a Gantt chart for a project titled "Automated Documentation Website Development." The script uses matplotlib for plotting and pandas for data handling.

Requirements

To run this script, you need the following libraries:

• matplotlib
• pandas

Ensure these are installed in your Python environment. You can install them using pip:

pip install matplotlib pandas

Description

The script performs the following key steps:

1. Define Project Phases: It starts by defining the different phases of the project along with their timelines.
2. Data Preparation: Converts the phases into a pandas DataFrame and processes the dates for plotting.
3. Gantt Chart Creation: Utilizes matplotlib to create a Gantt chart visualizing the timeline of each project phase.

How to Run

1. Ensure that you have Python installed on your system.
2. Install the required libraries (matplotlib, pandas).
3. Run the script in your Python environment.

Script Breakdown

• Import Statements: Imports required modules (matplotlib, matplotlib.dates, and pandas).
• Project Phases Definition: A dictionary phases holds the phases and their dates.
• DataFrame Creation: Converts the phases dictionary into a pandas DataFrame.
• Date Processing: The start and finish dates are converted from strings to datetime objects.
• Gantt Chart Plotting: The script plots a Gantt chart using matplotlib, showing the duration of each phase.

Output

Upon execution, the script displays a Gantt chart with the following features:

• Horizontal bars representing each phase's duration.
• Custom labels and title.
• Date formatting for clear understanding of the timeline.

Customization

You can customize the script by modifying the phases dictionary to reflect your project's timeline.
