# Working Calendar (Gantt example)

> WestCoast Charts 1.1.5, release, public Core release, on npm. HTML: https://westcoast-charts.com/gallery/gantt/working-calendar/ · Index for agents: https://westcoast-charts.com/llms.txt

A working calendar (calendar: { workingDays, holidays }): non-working days are shaded and muted, holidays are tinted and named, tasks given as start + duration count working days, the Duration column counts working days and dragging keeps a task's working-day length while skipping the closed days. Below 960 px the grid switches to a task/progress summary; all task data are retained. Use a wider view for the full columns.

## Verify

- Text check (Library 1.1.5): load `west-coast-charts/agent/describe` and call `chart.describe({ format: "json" })` for the actual drawn state. The live reader is on this example’s HTML page.
- Command line (Public agent tools 0.2.3, tested with Library 1.1.5; available from the versioned GitHub release and npm, https://westcoast-charts.com/docs/cli/index.md): `wcc chart export gantt-working-calendar.json --out gantt-working-calendar.svg --with-table` (save the options above as JSON first)
