Re: [taskjuggler-users] Printed reports

[Bas de Bruijn]

Hi Martin,

there is indeed no way to produce 'paper' output. I choose bigger format (sometimes A1 or A0) and from save that as the pdf. I work on a Mac and there it's easy. I worked from Windows and there I used pdfcreator with a big format to print to.

Hi! I'm quite new to TaskJuggler, and to this kind of project planning and reporting in general. I just started using Gnome's Planner a few days ago, and found TaskJuggler to be a (maybe) good alternative.

My question is that I would like to generate printed (PDF) reports, and not only HTML output. After browsing through the manual, the tutorial, and the web, I haven't found a way to do so -- other than to print a HTML report from the browser (which also won't work because the GANTT chart there is 2000 pixels wide and I can only see a small part of it).

Did I miss something, or is there no "paper" output from TaskJuggler?

Hello,

 I usually produce a big HTML report with something like :

taskreport bigoverview "bigoverview" {
    formats html
  · scenarios real
    start 2012-01-01
    end 2012-07-31
    columns bsi,
            name, start, end, effortdone {title "Done"}, effortleft {title
              "Left"}, duration, # revenue,
  · · · · · chart { ${TaskTip} width 2400 }
    # For this report we like to have the abbreviated weekday in front
    # of the date. %a is the tag for this.
    #timeformat "%a %Y-%m-%d"
    timeformat "%d/%m"
    loadunit days
    balance cost rev
    caption 'Tous les efforts sont en homme.jour.'
  · sorttasks tree#,  real.effortleft.up
    hidetask ignore_in_report
  
  }

And then produce a pdf from the HTML file with the help of wkhtmltopdf

Best regards,

-Mathieu

Thanks for the hint! That seems to work well.

I just tried to do this and the output is pretty bad for me -- no
colors or task bars, no lines connecting dependency arrows, etc.. See
the attached screen shots showing my typical browser view vs. the
printed PDF view. I'm running Chromium on Arch Linux, though I get the
same results with Firefox. This is using the built-in print-to-file
option from my print dialog... If that's an issue, perhaps there's a
better printing package for use with the browser?

Using a pretty simple taskreport:

8<-----------------8<
taskreport overview "" {
header -8<-
=== Timeline/Deliverables ===
->8-
columns bsi { title 'WBS' },
name, start, chart { width 800 ${TaskTip} }

timeformat "%Y-%m-%d"
loadunit days
hideresource 1
sorttasks tree
}
>8------------------->8


Any suggestions?


Thanks,
John

Hi,

try what is described here concerning the browser settings:

Awesome -- that worked. For any others stumbling on this, the options
isn't File -> Page Setup any longer (perhaps it once was). It's now in
the "Options" tab during the File -> Print dialog box (see attached).
Thanks for pointing me on the right track -- when I couldn't find it
in File -> Page Setup, I googled it and found it via Mozilla
documentation:
- http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-print-websites

Result with a print to file (PDF) option looks great, and this is a
huge help for me sharing this with others.


Thanks,
John
