Gantt masters

[TechAuthorAndy]

My earlier post on this didn't seem to materialise. So here we go again.
When you drop a Gantt chart on a page it creates a number of document
masters that do not come from stencils. Can anyone explain how these masters
are generated? (An example is a master called "Pri scale cell").

I'll try again:
The "Pri scale cell" shape is the shape that shapes the lower of the two time units,
normally the days on a default diagram. The shapes are added or deleted by the Gantt chart
addon automatically whenever the timescale is changed or when tasks are added or deleted.
It isn't a shape you should need access to.

As it turns out these masters are in the Document Stencil. They are just
Hidden.

First, create a Gantt chart. What you get as the default is fine. Then,
loop through the Document Stencil masters with a bit of VBA code and print
each of the master names. You should see "Pri Scale cell" and "Sec scale
cell" in the list. Next, check the Hidden property of the masters. You'll
see that it is set to -1 (true).

The same technique is used to hide Data Graphic items in the Document Stencil.
