===Color===
[[File:Network_chart_menu_Color.png|thumb|400px350px|right|Network Chart {{man label|Color}} preferences tab]] The {{man label|Color}} preferences tab controls most of the colors on the chart. The Network Chart SVG background is transparent so the background color you see will be the default background color of your browser or if the SVG was embedded in a webpage with a background image you will see that image below the Network Chart SVG. The node backgrounds for Male, Female, and Other can be changed. An alpha is used for the individual node backgrounds. Setting this to 0 will make the node background completely transparent. Setting it to 255 will make it completely solid (opaque).
Connector lines are just that, the connecting lines from node to node for a family connection or marriage. The Highlight connector line is used for a highlighted path as discussed in the Highlight Menu section. The Trim box edge is used on nodes in the graph that have been "trimmed" as discussed in the Trim Menu section. Finally, all node background colors can be set to none with the Remove Color Backgrounds option.
===Privacy===
[[File:Network_chart_menu_Privacy.png|thumb|250px350px|left|Network Chart {{man label|Privacy}} preferences tab]] The {{man label|Privacy}} preferences tab allows dates for birth and marriage to be made vague. All individuals that have a valid date for either a birth or marriage can have that date rounded to the nearest decade after the entered. (This feature will change in the future to round to just the year<!-- per Gramps make vague function. -->) Additionally, middle names can be changed to just show initials. (This feature will change in the future to just remove middle names altogether.) Finally, private records for individuals can be included or not. If not, the individual node will contain the words "Private Record" for all those individuals marked private in Gramps.

===Trim===
[[File:Network_chart_menu_Trim_1.png|thumb|250px350px|left|{{man label|Trim }} Menu Example 1]] [[File:Shakespeare_network_trim_1.svg|thumb|200px|right|Trim Example 1]] The {{man label|Trim}} preferences tab allows "trimming" of the database to display less individuals in the Network Chart. The Trim Descendants option trims all descendants "below" the selected individuals. The Trim Ancestors option attempts to trim all ancestors "above" the selected individuals. Individuals by marriage will also be removed depending on their location in the network relative to the person trimmed. Both options allow entry of multiple people. The Trim Menu image shows the selection of individual I0118 to trim descendants and I0111 to trim ancestors. The result is shown on the right in the Trim Example 1. Note the nodes of the individuals selected on the trim tab are bordered with a red dashed trim.

[[File:Network_chart_menu_Trim_2.png|thumb|250px350px|left|{{man label|Trim }} Menu Example 2]] [[File:Shakespeare_network_trim_2.svg|thumb|200px|right|Trim Example 2]]
Trim Menu Example 2 shows the selection of additional individuals to trim. However, this example will generate "orphans" or individuals with no connections as a result of the trimming operation. This is shown in Trim Example 2. Note the three isolated individuals in the top right corner including one of the individuals selected in the trim menu.

[[File:Network_chart_menu_Trim_3.png|thumb|250px350px|left|{{man label|Trim }} Menu Example 3]] [[File:Shakespeare_network_trim_3.svg|thumb|200px|right|Trim Example 3]]
The Trim Groups option will trim smaller groups/trees or individuals that are disconnected. You must enter the minimum number of individuals in a group/tree to display. For databases with more than 1500 individuals this option is required and the minimum number is set to 2. This will force all disconnected single individuals to be removed from the graph. Selecting a number greater than the largest group/tree will return only the largest tree or those trees that are equal in size. For this example the Trim Groups has been selected with a size of 2. The result removes the isolated individuals from the graph as shown in the Trim Example 3 chart.
The {{man label|Highlight}} preferences tab.
[[File:Network_chart_menu_Highlight_1.png|thumb|250px350px|left|{{man label|Highlight }} Menu Example 1]] [[File:Shakespeare_network_highlight_1.svg|thumb|150px|right|Highlight Example 1]]
The Highlight Menu highlights paths and individuals in the database. The Highlight Path option choices are "Direct" or "Any". The Direct option will attempt to find a direct path between the two individuals selected and highlight that path. The Any option will attempt to find any path between the two selected individuals and highlight that path. The example shows Highlight Path Direct between the two individuals with the result shown in Highlight Example 1.

[[File:Network_chart_menu_Highlight_2.png|thumb|250px350px|left|{{man label|Highlight }} Menu Example 2]] [[File:Shakespeare_network_highlight_2.svg|thumb|100px|right|Highlight Example 2]]
The Show Path Only will display only the path found and remove all others from the chart. The choices are "Direct" or "Any". The Direct option will attempt to find a direct path between the two individuals selected and display only that path. The Any option will attempt to find any path between the two selected individuals and display only that path. The example shows the Show Only Path option with Direct selected. The result is shown in Highlight Example 2.

The Center Person option allows one to select a center person for the chart and radius that will isolate the included nodes to just that selected person and anyone within the radius. The radius is the maximum allowable steps or edges between the center person and anyone else in the graph. All others outside of the maximum steps or edges will not be shown. Any connection via parent, child, or marriage counts as a step or edge.

===Config===
[[File:Network_chart_menu_Config.png|thumb|350px|left|{{man label|Config}} Menu Example]]The {{man label|Config}} preferences tab. The Config Menu allows modification of some basic functionality of the Network Chart plugin. The output File Type can be changed to a PDF. The PDF will not have URL links but everything else will display the same as the SVG. The GrampsID in a database can change for an individual, however, the underlying database handle for an individual should never change. Thus this option can be used for the Dynamic URL generation on the main menu to replace the GrampsID with the database handle. This is typically much longer than the GrampsID. The last option allows one to stop the overwrite warnings and just overwrite the file.
