something like the following in will allow you to pass a table to a series of shell commands #+tblname: tasks | Task 1 | 2010-4-2T12:00:00 | 1 | validate | | Task 2 | 2010-4-5T12:00:00 | 5.25 | something | | Task 3 | 2010-4-5T12:00:00 | 2010-4-10T0:00:00 | otherthing | #+begin_src sh :var tasks=tasks echo "$tasks" |wc #+end_src #+results: : 3 15 130 you can also use a gnuplot block to accept the output of gantt.py, and once everything is working it can be packaged up into a library of babel [1] function which could then be called with a short line like. #+call: gantt(tasks=my-task-table) Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions. -- Eric > > I am sorry should this be a bit vague. > > Please let me know if I can provide any more information to clarify the > problem > > Cheers and thanks, > > Erik > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode Footnotes: [1] http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/library-of-babel.php _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
