It would be interesting to have almost all data from the originating report (.tjp) to be able to
easily customize the generation of the EPS file.
That patch is really simple, just adds a line or so.

Yes.
Hmm. If tjx2gantt isn't actively developped any more, is ktjview going to have printing capabilities ?
If find it quite interesting to be able to generate a printable file from the command-line (I
convert the EPS file to PDF (epstopdf) to view/send it).
But obviously, it would be even better to also have a GUI so that you can have a better view of what
you are doing and simulate around to see what it does on your time schedule.
Dependencies also are a little bit cumbersome in their syntax when you get to have large project
(tjp) files, a GUI would also help there.
Besides being proprietary, a bit bloated and only running on windows, M$ project isn't that bad. It
has some small (but annoying) bugs and the interface sucks (bad keyboard navigation, etc...) though.
Hmm... I reconsider what I said, m$ project isn't such a good tool ;-)

Ok.
Is anyone planning in other units than days or maybe half days ?
I think we could restrict to half days because anything below that just isn't realistic (IMO).
Or at least hours, I can't imagine someone planning in half hours (or even less).
Like that, you would avoid having trouble messing with minutes and seconds.

I'll write one that reproduces that behaviour (I can't send you my real project data ;-))

They're on my website:
http://guru.unixtech.be/taskjuggler/
taskjuggler.diff: the diff against the C++ code (Task.cpp)
taskjuggler.gantt.diff: the big (and dirty) diff against the tjx2gantt script
sample.eps: sample result with my modifications
Thanks for the feedback.
