[Tex/LaTex] How to have the title at the top of the gantt chart
pgfgantt
Related Solutions
This seems to be caused by the value given for x in
\begin{tikzpicture}[x=.5cm, y=1cm]
Using x=0.7cm (or a larger value) fixes the problem.
Like Claudio, I suggest you to use the pgfGantt package, which I find quite simple, and whose documentation is quite clear.
Here is a MWE, with custom label, progress bar and relations:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ftbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{ganttchart}[y unit title=0.4cm,
y unit chart=0.5cm,
vgrid,hgrid,
title label anchor/.style={below=-1.6ex},
title left shift=.05,
title right shift=-.05,
title height=1,
bar/.style={fill=gray!50},
incomplete/.style={fill=white},
progress label text={},
bar height=0.7,
group right shift=0,
group top shift=.6,
group height=.3,
group peaks={}{}{.2}]{24}
%labels

Best Answer
By adding
\gantttitle{Thesis Defence Timeline}{36} \\before the rest of the chart adds a title to the entire chart as given. Other add-ons can be obtained from gantt charts.
