About:
Pla is a command-line utility designed to generate Gantt charts from plain text data.

The tool simplifies project timeline visualization without requiring complex GUI software.
Key Features:
  • Supports PNG, EPS, PDF, and SVG output formats
  • Text-based input for easy scripting and version control
  • Lightweight and fast command-line interface
  • Customizable colors and layout options
Use Cases:
  • Generating project timelines for documentation
  • Visualizing task dependencies in software development
  • Creating quick charts for presentations or reports
Alternatives:

  • Gnuplot – Gnuplot is more powerful for scientific plotting but has a steeper learning curve for Gantt charts.
