[Tex/LaTex] Typesetting a calendar with pgfgantt

calendarpgfgantttikz-pgf

How can I use pgfgantt to typeset a calendar for 2013? I would like to have calendar that displays the day-dates of the corresponding months; instead of the number 1 to 365 it should give 1,…,31,1,…,28,1,…31 and so on.

Also it would be great if Saturdays and Sundays among these dates could be highlighted with a different background. So far I have the following:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[paperwidth=300cm, paperheight=50cm,left=1cm,right=1cm,top=5cm,bottom=5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\usepackage{pgfcalendar}

\begin{document}

\begin{ganttchart}[hgrid, vgrid, x unit=0.8cm]{365}
\gantttitle{Projektplan}{365} \\
\gantttitlelist{1,...,365}{1} \\
\ganttbar{Task 1}{2}{5} \\
\end{ganttchart}

\end{document}

A small shortcut to what David has provided (which is fantastic considering he doesn't even use PGF :D ).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=300cm, paperheight=50cm,
            left=1cm,right=1cm,top=5cm,bottom=5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\usetikzlibrary{calendar}

\protected\def\zzz#1{%
\pgfcalendarifdate{2012-12-31+#1}{weekend}% Test if it's a weekend
{\textcolor{red}{\pgfcalendarifdateday}}% Typeset with red color
{\pgfcalendarifdateday}% Or just the number
}


\begin{document}


\begin{ganttchart}[hgrid, vgrid, x unit=0.8cm]{365}
\gantttitle{Projektplan}{365} \\
\gantttitlelist[
title list options={var=\y, evaluate=\y as \x using {"\zzz{\y}"}}
]{1,...,365}{1} \\
\ganttbar{Task 1}{2}{5} \\
\end{ganttchart}

\end{document}

You can use the \pgfcalendar macro in place of the default \pgffor used by \gantttitlelist as follows:

\documentclass[landscape]{article}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,usenames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\usepackage{pgfcalendar}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\definecolor{barblue}{RGB}{153,204,254}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[x=1cm,y=1cm]
        \begin{ganttchart}%
            [canvas={fill=none, draw=black!5, line width=.75pt},
            hgrid style={draw=black!5, line width=.75pt},
            vgrid={draw=black!5, line width=.75pt},
            title={draw=none, fill=none},
            title label font=\bfseries\footnotesize,
            title label anchor={below=-2pt},
            include title in canvas=false,
            bar={draw=none, fill=barblue},
            ]{33}
        \gantttitle[title label anchor={below left=-2pt and -3pt}]{Date:}{0}
%        \gantttitlelist[title list options={%
%            var=\y, evaluate=\y as \x%
%            using "\pgfcalendarweekdayshortname{\y}"%
%        }]{0,...,6}{1} \\
        \pgfcalendar{titlecal}{2011-09-21}{2011-10-12}{%
          \gantttitle{\pgfcalendarweekdayshortname{\pgfcalendarcurrentweekday} 
          \pgfcalendarcurrentday}{1}}\\
        \ganttbar{Task 1}{1}{7} \\
        \ganttbar{Task 2}{8}{14} \\
        \ganttbar{Task 3}{15}{21} \\
        \end{ganttchart}
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

The first argument (here "titlecal") is a prefix to the names of the nodes created, which isn't of any particular use here, but then the next two are the starting and stopping dates. You can change the actual text that's displayed using the commands in section 57 of the PGF manual.

This seems to work

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\usepackage{pgfcalendar}
\usepackage[a4paper,landscape,left=1cm,top=1cm,%
bottom=1.5cm,right=1cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\newcount\startdate
\pgfcalendardatetojulian{2012-011-03}{\startdate}

\protected\def\zzz{\ {\pgfcalendarjuliantodate{\numexpr\startdate\relax}{\year}{\month}{\day}\year--\month--\day\global\advance\startdate1}}
\begin{ganttchart}[vgrid, hgrid]{42}
\gantttitle{Title}{42} \\
\gantttitlelist[title list options={var=\y, evaluate=\y as \x using "\pgfcalendarweekdayshortname{\y}\zzz"}]{5,6,0,1,2,3,4}{6}
\ganttgroup{x}{1}{42} \\
\ganttbar{l}{1}{3} \\
\ganttgroup{y}{1}{42} \\
\ganttbar{l}{1}{3} \\
\ganttgroup{z}{1}{42} \\
\ganttbar{l}{1}{3} 
\end{ganttchart}
\end{document}
