Hello! Link that you have attached is python implementation while my plugin provide only javascript support. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to find JS example of Gantt plot on plotly site, I assume this plot is a new one.

Python example of Gantt uses this px.timeline function or something, that i haven't managed to find any equivalent in JS codebase.

I will look into how this can be implemented within current plotly.js version, but as far as I can see, this kind of plot is not supported yet.

I will post an update when find suitable solution for this. (If you find a solution faster than me - please post it here, any help will be appreciad)

As an alternative, I may suggest mermaid Gantt chart, which is supported by Obsidian as one of the core features. Not as powerful as plotly for sure, but still may be useful.

Regarding d3 installation, it would not help to make your example work. But if you need it for other purposes, just download *.min.js file from official site, place it somewhere inside your Obsidian vault and put a path to it inside dataviewjs block (plugin provides a command for pasting such example). There are various gantt implementations, that are based on d3, not require plotly and may be copied into dataviewjs block.

But I absolutely not sure if copy-pasting them would even work without fine-tuning and additional changes.

I am still a beginner but I liked this solution https://github.com/scholtzan/d3-gantt. How to install this? d3 I want to copy to .plugins/plotly folder, is it possible?

Unfortunately, I have no idea (it needs further investigation), and this one, as far as I can see, is definitely unrelated to initial topic of this issue (gantt chart). I suggest to ask this question on Discord official server or on forum, see links here.
