Plotly's Python library is free and open source! Get started by downloading the client and reading the primer.
You can set up Plotly to work in online or offline mode, or in jupyter notebooks.
We also have a quick-reference cheatsheet (new!) to help you get started!
Note: Gantt Charts are available in version 1.12.2+
Run pip install plotly --upgrade
to update your Plotly version

help(ff.create_gantt)
Help on function create_gantt in module plotly.figure_factory._gantt: create_gantt(df, colors=None, index_col=None, show_colorbar=False, reverse_colors=False, title='Gantt Chart', bar_width=0.2, showgrid_x=False, showgrid_y=False, height=600, width=900, tasks=None, task_names=None, data=None, group_tasks=False) Returns figure for a gantt chart :param (array|list) df: input data for gantt chart. Must be either a a dataframe or a list. If dataframe, the columns must include 'Task', 'Start' and 'Finish'. Other columns can be included and used for indexing. If a list, its elements must be dictionaries with the same required column headers: 'Task', 'Start' and 'Finish'. :param (str|list|dict|tuple) colors: either a plotly scale name, an rgb or hex color, a color tuple or a list of colors. An rgb color is of the form 'rgb(x, y, z)' where x, y, z belong to the interval [0, 255] and a color tuple is a tuple of the form (a, b, c) where a, b and c belong to [0, 1]. If colors is a list, it must contain the valid color types aforementioned as its members. If a dictionary, all values of the indexing column must be keys in colors. :param (str|float) index_col: the column header (if df is a data frame) that will function as the indexing column. If df is a list, index_col must be one of the keys in all the items of df. :param (bool) show_colorbar: determines if colorbar will be visible. Only applies if values in the index column are numeric. :param (bool) reverse_colors: reverses the order of selected colors :param (str) title: the title of the chart :param (float) bar_width: the width of the horizontal bars in the plot :param (bool) showgrid_x: show/hide the x-axis grid :param (bool) showgrid_y: show/hide the y-axis grid :param (float) height: the height of the chart :param (float) width: the width of the chart Example 1: Simple Gantt Chart ``` import plotly.plotly as py from plotly.figure_factory import create_gantt # Make data for chart df = [dict(Task="Job A", Start='2009-01-01', Finish='2009-02-30'), dict(Task="Job B", Start='2009-03-05', Finish='2009-04-15'), dict(Task="Job C", Start='2009-02-20', Finish='2009-05-30')] # Create a figure fig = create_gantt(df) # Plot the data py.iplot(fig, filename='Simple Gantt Chart', world_readable=True) ``` Example 2: Index by Column with Numerical Entries ``` import plotly.plotly as py from plotly.figure_factory import create_gantt # Make data for chart df = [dict(Task="Job A", Start='2009-01-01', Finish='2009-02-30', Complete=10), dict(Task="Job B", Start='2009-03-05', Finish='2009-04-15', Complete=60), dict(Task="Job C", Start='2009-02-20', Finish='2009-05-30', Complete=95)] # Create a figure with Plotly colorscale fig = create_gantt(df, colors='Blues', index_col='Complete', show_colorbar=True, bar_width=0.5, showgrid_x=True, showgrid_y=True) # Plot the data py.iplot(fig, filename='Numerical Entries', world_readable=True) ``` Example 3: Index by Column with String Entries ``` import plotly.plotly as py from plotly.figure_factory import create_gantt # Make data for chart df = [dict(Task="Job A", Start='2009-01-01', Finish='2009-02-30', Resource='Apple'), dict(Task="Job B", Start='2009-03-05', Finish='2009-04-15', Resource='Grape'), dict(Task="Job C", Start='2009-02-20', Finish='2009-05-30', Resource='Banana')] # Create a figure with Plotly colorscale fig = create_gantt(df, colors=['rgb(200, 50, 25)', (1, 0, 1), '#6c4774'], index_col='Resource', reverse_colors=True, show_colorbar=True) # Plot the data py.iplot(fig, filename='String Entries', world_readable=True) ``` Example 4: Use a dictionary for colors ``` import plotly.plotly as py from plotly.figure_factory import create_gantt # Make data for chart df = [dict(Task="Job A", Start='2009-01-01', Finish='2009-02-30', Resource='Apple'), dict(Task="Job B", Start='2009-03-05', Finish='2009-04-15', Resource='Grape'), dict(Task="Job C", Start='2009-02-20', Finish='2009-05-30', Resource='Banana')] # Make a dictionary of colors colors = {'Apple': 'rgb(255, 0, 0)', 'Grape': 'rgb(170, 14, 200)', 'Banana': (1, 1, 0.2)} # Create a figure with Plotly colorscale fig = create_gantt(df, colors=colors, index_col='Resource', show_colorbar=True) # Plot the data py.iplot(fig, filename='dictioanry colors', world_readable=True) ``` Example 5: Use a pandas dataframe ``` import plotly.plotly as py from plotly.figure_factory import create_gantt import pandas as pd # Make data as a dataframe df = pd.DataFrame([['Run', '2010-01-01', '2011-02-02', 10], ['Fast', '2011-01-01', '2012-06-05', 55], ['Eat', '2012-01-05', '2013-07-05', 94]], columns=['Task', 'Start', 'Finish', 'Complete']) # Create a figure with Plotly colorscale fig = create_gantt(df, colors='Blues', index_col='Complete', show_colorbar=True, bar_width=0.5, showgrid_x=True, showgrid_y=True) # Plot the data py.iplot(fig, filename='data with dataframe', world_readable=True) ```
