Hi Dagmar, Having recovered somewhat, I can refine my suggestion a bit: datframe <- data.frame(Name=c("Kati","Kati","Kati","Leon","Leon","Leon"), changepoint=as.POSIXct(strptime(c("03.01.2011","05.01.2011", "27.01.2011", "26.01.2011","28.01.2011", "28.02.2011"), "%d.%m.%Y")), knownstate =c("breeding",NA, NA,"breeding","moulting",NA)) library(plotrix) tm.info<-list(labels=datframe$Name, starts=c(as.POSIXct(strptime("01.01.2011","%d.%m.%Y")), datframe$changepoint[1:2], as.POSIXct(strptime("24.01.2011","%d.%m.%Y")), datframe$changepoint[4:5]), ends=datframe$changepoint) gantt.chart(tm.info, xlim=as.POSIXct(strptime(c("1.1.2011","10.3.2011"),"%d.%m.%Y")), taskcolors=c(2,3,3,2,"orange",3)) legend(as.POSIXct(strptime("10.02.2011","%d.%m.%Y")),2, c("Breeding","Moulting","Loafing"),fill=c(2,"orange",3))
