* The report uses <u>...</u> to underline the call name if the call name is a part of the first name. This only works with CairoDoc based output (direct printing, PDF export) and HTML output.

== Family Tree ==
=== Description ===
The Family Tree report starts with a center family and prints both ancestors (to the left) and descendants (to the right).
There are a number of differences to the standard ancestor and descendant reports:
* The whole report is centered on the page, the boxes are also aligned in a more centered than top-aligned way
* Marriage and divorce information is included
* The names are printed in a bigger font than the dates and places (birth date, death date, etc)
* This report has options to use the call name instead of the first name, or to underline the call name (only works with PDF output)
* There are 3 predefined ways of formatting the birth/death/marriage/divorce data: year only, full date, or full date and place
* This report makes better use of the available space for printing ancestors
* On the ancestors side, father and mother are combined in a box
* On the descendants side, spouses are included
=== Installation ===
Just donwload [[media:FamilyTree.tar.gz|this archive]], unpack it, and copy the contained FamilyTree.py file into your .gramps/plugins folder. The menu item "Family Tree" should appear in your "Reports|Graphical reports" menu item.
=== Caveats ===
* The report uses <u>...</u> to underline the call name if the call name is a part of the first name. This only works with CairoDoc based output (direct printing, PDF export) and HTML output.
* Printing on more than one page doesn't work, you usually want to use the "scale to fit on a single page" option.
