attempting to reproduce the formatted gantt as in issue 14

what am I missing

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

I was attempting to reproduce this figure but not sure of the version of the plan.r that was used. Any help would be appreciated...

[dankelley]

This R package won't make that package. The diagram was a sketch of what a user wanted. I've done some of those things, but not others. The webpage http://dankelley.github.io/plan/installation.html shows how to install the most recent version of plan. It has not been updated in a year, and is not a high priority for updating, given other concerns (teaching, proposal-writing, etc). If plan as it presently exists is not helpful, I am reasonably sure that there are other alternatives, since these diagrams are fairly common. Although I wrote plan, I am not sure I've ever actually used it ... my research agencies don't tend to bother with such things.

Got it. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
