I am looking for a way to easily generate gantt charts from Rails. The way I am considering is drawing the chart from RMagick, but would prefer an existing solution if it is available. It does not look like Gruff handles Gantt Charts.

Thanks in advance Don

Timeline, while not technically a gantt chart, has much of the same capabilities and a slick google-maps-like AJAXy feel. It is easily integrated into a Rails project.

Also check out redmine and ProjectLounge Lite, which are rails-based project management systems with built-in gantt charting. They're open- source; you can see how they do it.
