Network Chart is a Web Pages Report addon for Gramps. The objectives of Network Chart: [[File:NetworkChart usage.png|400px|right|thumb|To Start Network Chart]]
*Generate a single graph showing connectivity between individuals
The default output is a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file that can be viewed in a browser. Network Chart uses the python networkx module to assist in selecting what to display and the pygraphviz module to generate the chart.
To start the Network Chart addon use the following menu option {{man menu|Reports > Web Pages > Network Chart...}} The Shakespeare database used for the examples below was downloaded from the http://genealogyoflife.com/ website. Generating a chart of an entire database on very large databases can lead to long chart generation times (See [[NetworkChart#Performance|Performance]]). Of course, subsets can be selected greatly reducing the chart generation times (See [[NetworkChart#Trim|Trim]] and [[NetworkChart#Highlight|Highlight]]).
{{man note|Slight variations in Graph Outputs|Generated Network Chart graphs can change slightly after Gramps restarts. This is due to the memory allocation method used by Graphviz the dot layout engine is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_algorithm non-deterministic]. A small price for an extremely readable network graph that shows connectivity well.}}
