Gramps relies heavily on form-based layouts of linked list items. These imply relationships between records in your family Tree. The '''[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Charts_Category|Charts Category]]''' provides an alternative, more visual, way of representing those relationships. The positions, shapes, and colors of containers along with their connecting lines & arrows can show an extra depth of interrelation with different factors. Containers can be simple color filled boxes, arcs, ribbons, or many other shapes.
But the [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Charts_Category|Charts Category]] also provides an alternative way to navigate through the family tree. The benefit of this method is that you can see more than one generation of the family tree. So you can jump directly from a great-grandson to a great-grandfather without going through the intermediate generations.
