Report Options

As this is a plugin report, the standard 'Paper Options' will apply.

Personal

Center children of Family
This will be the center family for the report.
Generations
the parents of dad and mom will always be shown
1 - Show the parents and siblings of the parents only
2 - (default) Show children of the above. Cousins will be shown with this option
3 - Children of the above (Grandchildren of the parents)
etc
Personal Display Format
How individuals will be displayed. This also includes spouses.
Bold direct descendants
Whether direct descendants of the parents, parents (grandparents) will be bolded.
This does not include half or step children
Compress Personal Display Format
If a line is blank because the information is not available, do not print that line.
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

Level of spouses
0 - Do not show any spouses of direct children
1 - show spouses of the above
2 - show spouses of the above (spouses of spouses)
etc
Indent Spouses
if selected, spouses will be indented a little from their spouses. Spouses of Spouses will be indented a little bit further, etc.
Include Marriage information
like the Personal Display Format, how do you wish to format Marriage information for the parents of a family.

Replace

make a line for each replacements that you wish to make like replace this/with this This is useful for very long entries. An example birth place would be 'room 2, maternity ward, some hospital, this county, that state, United States of America' Also abbreviating countries and other things helps, cut down the width of a report. This is very useful so scaling the report and excessive white space can be cut down.

Print

Scale report to fit
Do not scale report. This option works great with the 'One Page Report' option.
Scale report to fit page width only. This option works great for Kinko's 36" wide roll printer (also select the 'One Page Report' option). Also use this option to make 1Xn page reports.
Scale report to fit the size of the page. With this option the 'One Page Report' option is useles.
One page report
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 the center family has children the report will show 'Cousin Chart for ' and list the children
If not the parents names will be listed.
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.
