aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaType	Represents placement of graphical indicator criteria.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaValue	Represents a value used in condition check of graphical indicators criteria.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorsInfo	Represents an graphical indicators definition associated with an extended attribute.
aspose.tasks.ResourceValidationException	Represents an exception which is thrown when errors are found in resource’s properties.

The following public methods and properties were added:	Description
aspose.tasks.AvailabilityPeriod.__init__(datetime, datetime, float)	Initializes a new instance of the with the specified date range and available units.
aspose.tasks.ExtendedAttributeDefinition.GraphicalIndicator	Get os sets a graphical indicators info associated with the extended attribute.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria.__init__(aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaType, aspose.tasks.FilterComparisonType, int, aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaValue, aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaValue)	Initializes a new instance of the type.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria.__init__(aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaType, aspose.tasks.FilterComparisonType, int, aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaValue)	Initializes a new instance of the type.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria.test	Gets the type of comparison made between extended attribute value and Values that acts as a criteria for the application of the graphical indicator.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria.value1	Gets the value used to test extended attribute’s value.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria.value2	Gets the second value used to test extended attribute’s value in case of ‘IsWithin’ and ‘IsNotWithin’ comparison types.
aspose.tasks.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria.image_index	Gets the index of the image to display when the field meets the criteria.

Examples and additional notes

Related issue: TASKSNET-726 - Add an API to add and modify graphical indicators and write to MPP files.

Graphical indicators can now be read and written from/to MPP format. Support of graphical indicator column rendering when saving a project to PDF, HTML and image formats is not added.

The following example shows how to add a graphical indicator to the extended attribute:

import aspose.tasks as tsk
from decimal import *

project = tsk.Project()
definition = tsk.ExtendedAttributeDefinition.create_lookup_task_definition(
    tsk.ExtendedAttributeTask.NUMBER7, 
    "My number attr"
)
project.extended_attributes.append(definition)
definition.graphical_indicator = tsk.GraphicalIndicatorsInfo()

criteria1 = tsk.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria(
    tsk.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaType.SUMMARY_ROWS,
    tsk.FilterComparisonType.IS_GREATER_THAN,
    2,
    tsk.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaValue(Decimal(100))
)

# 'IsWithin' criteria requires 2 values.
criteria2 = tsk.GraphicalIndicatorCriteria(
    tsk.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaType.SUMMARY_ROWS,
    tsk.FilterComparisonType.IS_WITHIN,
    4,
    tsk.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaValue(Decimal(101)),
    tsk.GraphicalIndicatorCriteriaValue(Decimal(150.75))
)

definition.graphical_indicator.criteria.append(criteria1)
definition.graphical_indicator.criteria.append(criteria2)

definition.graphical_indicator.project_summary_inherit_from_non_summary_rows = True
definition.graphical_indicator.summary_rows_inherit_from_non_summary_rows = True
definition.graphical_indicator.show_data_values_in_tooltip = False
