The {{man label|Family Tree}} report generates a graphical tree of a family with its ancestors and/or descendants. Similar to the standard builtin built-in [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_4#Ancestor_Tree|Ancestor Tree]] and [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_4#Descendant_Tree|Descendant Tree]] reports but with the following differences:
* Both ancestors and descendants are combined in a single report
* The report can be colored* On the ancestors side, father and mother are combined in a box** On the descendants side, with various coloring optionsspouses are included* Marriage and divorce information is included and you have the option to print occupation and residence.
* 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
* On the ancestors side, father and mother are combined in a box
* On the descendants side, spouses are included
* This report makes better use of the available space for printing ancestors and the whole report is centered on the page, the boxes are also aligned in a more centered than top-aligned way
 
Numerous other user selectable options allowing coloring, and how various family information is display.

== IssuesCallname handling==This report has an some experimental options to* Help button wrong pageuse the call name instead of the first name, * {{bug|7018}} : Family Tree report no longer underlines or to underline the call name in (only works with PDF output) * To activate callname handling, you need to apply the patch in {{bug|8003}} uncomment in the <code>FamilyTree.py</code> the line
<code># menu.add_option(category_name, "callname", callname)</code>
===Caveats===* The report uses &lt;u&gt;...&lt;/u&gt; 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.
== Issues==* Help button wrong page* The {{bug|7018}} : Family Tree report uses &lt;u&gt;...&lt;/u&gt; to underline the call name if the no longer underlines call name is a part of the first name. This only works with CairoDoc based output (direct printing, in 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.
