merged along time ago into Gramps 3.1+ as the Graphical Descendant_Tree report!
{{Third-party plugin}}{{man warn|No longer available|Merged into Gramps 3.1+ as the [[Category:Proposed_Report_Specifications]][[Category:PluginsGramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_4#Descendant_Tree|Graphical Descendant_Tree Report]]}} [[Image:cousin_chart_fulldescend-_chart.pngjpg|thumb|500px|Sample Descend] chart]]
A double graphical descendant report showing (when given a center family):
*This report was run off of the example data within Gramps.
**Report for: Smith: Gustaf, Sr (I07)
**Filter for: Smith: Gustaf, Sr (I07) and Hansdotter, Anna (F06)
**Start with the parent(s) of the selected first
*The best way to understand this report is with the picture. But here is a description:
# This is a descendant report (on steroids).##This report shows that Grandmom (on the fathers side) had a second marriage. Sorry no half uncles or cousins here.# But you can think of two descendant reports with a descendant report of the combined (center ) family (joining above and below).##Arrows point to the center family's father Gustaf (on top) and mother Anna (below).# a descendant report of the center family's mother's parents (Mom's family is much smaller than dads)unknown at this time##This report shows that Gustaf and Anna's son, Hans has been married twice.

== Starting the Report report ==
Once [[#Download_.2F_Install|installed]], You will find the plugin under 'Reports -> Graphical Report -> Descend] Tree'
You can define the basic style of the report here.
[[Image:Report Tab.jpg|Report Tab]] ;Descendant report Report for
:You can select the main person for the report.
;Descendant report Filter for
:Here you can tell the report to run off of a family instead of an individual.
;Start with the parent(s) of the selected first
:Instead of starting with the selected individual or family, start with their parents.
:note that this will show brothers and sisters of the selected person or parents of the family.
;Generations
:the parents of mom and dad (grandparents) will always be shown
:2 - show spouses of the above (spouses of spouses)
:etc
<HR><SPAN style="background-color:lightgrey">There are four basic reports that can be run: Numbers on the report correspond to the numbers listed below.<br />*[[Image:Descend_All.jpg|All four report types|500px]]<br /> {|style="background-color:lightgrey"! colspan="2" align="left"|without the the 'Start with the parents parent(s) of the selected first' option#|-! |1. |Given a person, this report will display a descendant report for that person#|-! |2. |Given a center family, This report will display a descendant report for that family|-! colspan="2" align="left"|with the the 'Start with the parent(s) of the selected first' option|-! |3. |Given a person, you will print a descendant report of the selected persons parents|-||Of course this will print all brothers and sisters of the selected person (2 in the example).|-! |4. |Given a center family, you can choose to start with the parents of the selected family parents|-| |the top half of the report will show a descendant report of the fathers parents. |-| |The bottom half will show a descendant report of the mothers parents (unknown in this example).|-| |The center family will be the junction of the two descendant reports.|}</SPAN>

;Personal Display Format
:How direct descendants (not spouses) will be displayed.
:Whether direct descendants of the individual or family or parents of parents (grandparents) will be bolded.
:This does not include half or step children
;Compress Personal ans Spousal Display Formats
:If a line is blank because the information is not available, do not print that line.
:this also works for the Spousal Display Format (below)
:example, if a line show 'd. $d $D', this line will not be printed if the person is still alive or no information is given for death.
== Spouse ==
;Scale report to fit
:Do not scale report. This option works great with the 'One Page Report' option.
:Scale up or down the size of the page (whether verticaly or both vertically and horizontally) to fit the natural size of the report. Note that this WILL most likely make irregular page sizes. Great for Emailing to relatives and Kinkos can size to print too.
;Include Report Title
:If Will display the center family has children names of the report will show 'Cousin Chart for ' and list the childrenuppermost parents.:If not Grandparents will be displayed if known/shown. Otherwise the parents names will be listedprinted.;Print a border:Prints a border around the report if wanted.
;Print Page Numbers
:Page numbers will be printed on the lower right hand corner of the report.
;Include Blank Pages
:on multiple page reports, if nothing is on a page, specify to print the page anyway.
;Compress Tree
:With this option, the tree will NOT be expanded as much as normal. Giving a little bit smaller (in length) report.
Now we are able to add a personalized note to the report. Yeah.
== Advanced Thoughts thoughts ==
;Know the page size you want to print to first.
:This is actually very important. There are lots of different things you can do.
== Download / Install ==
You can download the beta(#2) version Version 1.0 of this software for Gramps 3.0.x: You find it [http://ander882.110mb.com/files/CousinDescend.zip here]
There is NOT a working version for Gramps 2.2.5+. If you modify this report to work here, plese let me know.
Open the file in whatever zip archival program that you use (sorry, my website does not allow the .py extension). There will be ONLY one file in this zip called 'CousinDescend].py' and save it into:
linux: local install: place in ~/.gramps/plugins
== New future features ==
I have asked for comments, criticism, and the kitchen sink. Well everyone has thrown it at me... :)
I am going to move this section into a [[GCR Work in ProgressGraphical Descendant Report|new page]].
== Author / Terms ==
As per the end of Cousin.py:
translated_name = _("Cousin Descend] Tree"), status = _("BetaStable"),
author_name = "Craig J. Anderson",
author_email = "[email protected]",
description = _("Produces a graphical cousin descendant tree"),
DO NOT TEST NEW PLUGINS WITH YOUR RESEARCH DATA. EXPORT DATA FIRST TO HAVE A BACKUP, THEN RUN THE TOOL
STRONGLY based on their code. And I still use this code
for reference.
