Export to pgfgantt

[mxa]

Ganttproject is good to manage projects, I wish I could easily export it to pgfgantt for typesetting.

What is the purpose? Embed a chart image into PDF docs?

Project proposals for example.
Or more general: A very convenient way how to make your Gantt charts look nice when printed out or as a PDF. Easily typeset in the style you need.

I mean, technically what is the purpose? If you want to embed a chart, you can use PDF export. It produces a vector image.

[mxa]

No. That's not sufficient. pgfgantt can create really nice looking graphs in the layout of your document, it's not the same as a generic vector output. On the other hand pfggantt graphs are extremely cumbersome to edit by hand, so ganttproject could be the go to editor to generate them, if the export option existed.
