units for time

Question

Hi,

I'm creating a Gantt chart for a project spanning several years. Can I define events in months or years or calendar months?

e.g. http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/7Smx3eCm60JXtgVO8-HHfUC8wQCK5go0nFbjULUAk3s8QffFCyYvUyvXfzRNiCPSY3_vBLjwzlhXQ9n8y4BSBX2RZruVwNK0Ls-DcAXrZZTAbeKxVZMyA0sCwRpl

Can I abbreviate the month headings, or show the Gantt chart by quarters (Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4) in each year?

BW

Chris.

Hi C., and all,
