How to tell gantt diagram that weekends are non-working days

asked Aug 25, 2017 in Wanted features by anonymous

Hello, I gave a try to gantt diagram in plantUML, GREAT idea.

I made my first diagram succesfully, but the result is considering saturday and sunday as working day which results in completely incorrect project finishing dates after a few weeks.

How can I define this in my gantt diagram?

You can do this with the "are closed" syntax. It will then skip those days when calculating durations.

@startgantt "MyGantt"
saturday are closed
sunday are closed
project starts the 2018/09/02
[Task1] lasts 10 days
@endgantt

could these days also be skipped/blank with the display of the resource utilization?
