Why does LaTeX not render my gantt-diagram into pdf

is there anybody out there, with experiences about how to do a gantt-diagram / chart using latex.

I tryed it for a lot of hours today, lastly it worked switching outpout from pdf to dvi. Maybe someone can tell me what to include, besides pst-gantt, and the no开发者_Python百科rmal pstricks stuff.

It showed more than 100 errors for 4 Tasks.. after switching to dvi there was a big 0.

i am using the whole distribution mitex .. upgradet to the newest version. stupidly i have the error log not avaible on this computer. but it was always the same error. i was using pst-gantt, outload missing packages.. hm errors will follow tomorrow morning

Reading the pst-gantt README it looks like this depends on the pstricks package. I believe that the "ps" is for postscript and the functionality is implemented by generating DVI "special" commands; which means that you can't produce output pdf directly using pdflatex. You can get to PDF output, but you must go by way of DVI. Either source->DVI->PDF or even source->DVI->PS->PDF.

I came across this question when having trouble with pst-gantt and pdflatex. As others have pointed out you need to go via DVI, which honestly sucks if you have used pdflatex all the time.

So I did some search, and found this phantastic replacement written by Martin Krumm: http://www.martin-kumm.de/tex_gantt_package.php
