Yes, I use QTikZ,

create the diagrams, then paste the results into LyX (wrapped by a preview).

HI Patrick,
I don't understand the question. Are you trying to import a gantt chart
produced by project management software or create a gantt chart within LyX
or LaTeX?

Thank Marcus,

I finally use pgfgantt
It is really old fashion.
I did not find good tool to create a gantt diagram.
Is there any gui using latex code (more or less like lyx)?
I do not know the audience about an add-on to lyx, but a good
editor of gantt seems missing!

Regards.

Dear Patrick,

you can embedding a Gantt chart into a LyX document just like any other 
chart too. That is: Create you your Gantt chart, your network planning 
chart or whatever you want to have with any program with which you want. 
Then you make a picture of it, if possible in a vector graphics format. 
If you are using latex as compiler, EPS is recommended as a graphic 
format, when you use pdflatex or xelatex, rather PDF. In LyX then you 
create a float using Insert -> Floats -> Picture, give the image a name 
by caption, adding a label and place here via Insert -> Graphics your 
EPS or PDF file (the Gantt chart).


The question of how you can embedding a Gantt Chart in LyX, so offers no 
difficulties. More interesting is the question of how you create it. In 
my opinion it's not a good idea to take easy the Gantt chart from MS 
Project or ProjectLibre, because it looks not not like pretty. At the 
moment I use Harvard Chart XL 3.0 to create the Gantt chart as such and 
Inkscape to add shortcut arrows and milestones.


Best regards
Marcus

Dear Patrick,

just I have take a look at the documentation of pgfgantt 
(http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pgfgantt/pgfgantt.pdf). If you 
mastered the package and you can live with the ERT produced, then there 
is nothing to be said against it that you can use it.


Otherwise do it so, as I have described: using an external application 
to make the Gantt chart, generating therefrom an image and embed the 
image into LyX.


Best regards
Marcus

 Hello,

 Is it possible to make a gantt chart by using lyx?


I had to make one for a EU grant application recently, and I ended up using
tikz-gantt [1]. Documentation is excellent and it didn't take too much time
once I got the hang of the general idea behind the package. On the other
hand, YMMV. My gantt chart was really simple

Using tikz means no direct lyx support, however. My lyx-based grant
application has a big, 2-page long ERT box with all the tikz-gantt code in
it. In practical terms, I actually worked on the chart itself separately
from LyX using a Latex editor (Kile). Once I debugged it to my
satisfaction, I simply cut and paste  the latex code into an ERT box in LyX


Cheers,

Stefano

For what it's worth, I have also used tikz to create charts and graphs for
use in LyX (although never a gantt chart). I have had good luck with the
editor qtikz, which is nice because it gives the code on one side, and a
real-time preview of the output on the other. Also, if you use the preview
capability of LyX, you can make your ERT (when not selected) convert to a
nice preview of the output on-screen within LyX.

You can produce them in pstricks if you are desperate (I was and did :)
