'''Life Line Chart View''' is an interactive {{icon|ance}} [[Gramps Glossary#charts view|{{man label|Charts}} ]] category view addon which shows individuals as lines in an ancestor or descendant chart. The length and position of the line depends on the actual life span and the marriages. The pedigree/ancestor collapse is handled. Labels for birth / names, death, and marriages can be added.
The active person on the person tab is starting point in both charts. Birth/christening/baptism, death/burial, and marriage dates need to be available to properly draw this chart. If they are incomplete reasonable guess values are chosen if possible. If not, then these individuals are not shown
= Usage =
Two new chart icons will appear in the {{icon|ance}} {{man label|Charts}} category view tool bar if the addon was loaded successfully and the [[Addon:Life_Line_Chart_View#Prerequisites|prerequisites]] have been installed:

The addon is based on the python Python module [https://pypi.org/project/life-line-chart life_line_chart], this Python module is required. This python [[File:LifeLineChartView-life line chart.png]] To enable SVG file export, the module and the dependent modules ([https://pypi.org/project/svgwrite svgwrite]) are is required(which has a minimum requirement of Python 3. If these modules are not available, then downloaded to the plugins folder and used from there6).

= Issues =* "smooth scrolling" is supported since GTK 3.24 ([https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/class.EventControllerScroll.html GTK documentation]), the Windows AIO currently uses an older version.* Touch screens are not properly supported on Windows. This is an unresolved GTK issue ([Filehttps:LifeLineChartView//gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-life line chart.png]/issues/3162#note_911387 GTK issue])
