Hi Jim,
The plotrix package has a function for generating Gantt charts. See http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/library/plotrix/html/gantt.chart.html Wayne -----Original Message----- From: r-sig-gui-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-sig-gui-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of David L Lorenz Sent: 26 July 2011 17:12 To: Jim Burke Cc: r-sig-gui-boun...@r-project.org; R Sig Gui Subject: Re: [R-gui] R for a historical timeline chart? Jim, Are you trying to develop a GUI for such a chart? If so, then this would be the place. If not and your just looking for some software that creates a graph like that, I'd suggest looking for something that produces a Gantt chart. The "Jewelry History Timeline" looks much like that. Gannt charts are typically used for planning, but could probably be tweaked to fit you needs.

Sent by: r-sig-gui-boun...@r-project.org First, I don't know if R Sig Gui is the right list, so feel free to redirect me if this is so. I would like to produce a historical timeline chart. For a general idea of what I want, go to the following web site. Scroll down until you find the "Jewelry History Timeline" jpeg. Say we use a variation of this for birth dates to annual birthdays for a family or group of friends. http://www.allaboutgemstones.com/gem_history.html Any pointers and example code would be appreciated.
