Gantt chart and calender weeks

Question

Hi,
I have to build a gantt chart and additional to Month year and date I have to show the calender weeks.
How can I do this?
I think it should be in between this part
<locale>
<date_time_format week_starts_from_monday="True">
<months>
<names>January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December</names>
<short_names>Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec</short_names>
</months>
<week_days>
<names>Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday</names>
<short_names>Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat</short_names>
</week_days>
<format>
<full>%yyyy.%MM.%dd.%HH.%mm.%ss</full>
<date>%yyyy.%MM.%dd</date>
<time>%HH.%mm.%ss</time>
</format>
</date_time_format>
</locale>
Please help me.

Hi Siegwin,
I've done some digging through the AnyChart documentation, and it looks like you need to look at setting a scale pattern for your Gantt chart. Take a look at the section called Date Time Scale Units Patterns in the AnyChart AnyGantt User's Guide, here: http://anychart.com/products/anygantt/docs/users-guide/timeline-scale.html?fromtree#date-time-patterns. I've updated one of my existing sample Gantt charts to apply a <weeks> pattern, which now displays the calendar week above each week - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:50 - you'll need to zoom in on the timeline in order to see the weeks of course. To achieve this, I just updated the custom XML region:
from
  <timeline>
    <plot line_height="30" item_height="15" item_padding="5" />
  </timeline>to
  <timeline>
    <plot line_height="30" item_height="15" item_padding="5" />
    <scale>
      <patterns>
        <weeks>
          <pattern>%e</pattern>
        </weeks>
      </patterns>
    </scale>
  </timeline>I would recommend that you review the AnyChart AnyGantt User's Guide (http://anychart.com/products/anygantt/docs/users-guide/index.html) and XML Reference (http://anychart.com/products/anygantt/docs/xmlReference/index.html) for any further customisations that you wish to apply to your chart, as they provide some very useful examples and associated XML code, which can prove very helpful.
