The {{man label|Descendants Lines}} Graphical Report addon generates a graphical descendants tree using orthogonal edges and routing ("square edges") in vertical mode only in which children in a family are ordered from left to right following the Gramps child order; and families are ordered right to left, top to bottom, following the Gramps family order.

'''DescendantsLines''' is an addon for Gramps which generates a graphical descendants tree using orthogonal edges and routing ("square edges").
 
 
 
DescendantsLines presents an orthogonal family tree, in vertical mode only. In DescendantsLines, vertical mode, children in a family are ordered from left to right following the Gramps child order; and families are ordered right to left, top to bottom, following the Gramps family order.

There are option and tree combinations which may generate overlapping edges and nodes. If using the inc_marriages option the S_DOWN - S_UP difference may need to be increased by 5-15 units depending on the tree.

Please use carefully on data that is backed up, and help make it better by reporting any comments or problems to the author, or issues to the bug tracker
Unless otherwise stated on this page, you can download this addon by following these instructions.
Please note that some Addons have prerequisites that need to be installed before they can be used.
This Addon/Plugin system is controlled by the Plugin Manager.

Descendants Lines - Galileo Galilei's Genealogy example

The Descendants Lines Graphical Report addon generates a graphical descendants tree using orthogonal edges and routing ("square edges") in vertical mode only in which children in a family are ordered from left to right following the Gramps child order; and families are ordered right to left, top to bottom, following the Gramps family order.

Usage

  • Open Gramps
  • Select the report using the menu option Reports -> Graphical Reports -> Descendants Lines...
  • On the Report Options tab choose the output path for the Destination: $GRAMPSHOME/Descendants Lines.png(default).
    • Note: That Document Options Filename: option will contain an empty file after the report is run.
  • Note: If the script is run in "debug mode" it generates copious terminal output such as "Unknown event type: ..." or "Unknown spouse: ...". These warnings are harmless.

Options

Descendants Lines has the following option tabs available to change:

Tree compression and or modification

SVG format trees can be compressed and or modified manually using the program Inkscape, using the select and path tools; or using other SVG manipulating program. PNG format trees can be compressed manually by manipulating the image.

Development

There is an in-development migration of this Gtk/cairo code to a draw plugin working into Gramps (font, style, path, canvas, output formats). This migration, DescendantsLines, does not use the Document interface of Gramps.

Draft version is available on Addons repository. addons-source/tree/master/DescendantsLines

The idea is keeping Gramps XML parsing, but with a copy of the active database and use of current report environment (output formats, style, path).

Ideas

Feel free to contribute or improve DescendantsLines.

  • This addon may with time become a general orthogonal family tree drawing resource for Gramps, for a View, etc., and outside Gramps as well. The PyCairo code can be connected to a view.
  • Think of optional tree compression algorithms.
  • Add option to include divorces.
  • Add option to include spouse parents.
  • Add option to include spouse ancestries.
    • Add option to include arbitrary spouse ancestries.
  • Add option to include arbitrary ancestries.
  • Add option to include notes.
  • Add option to include sources.
  • Add option to include images.
  • Add horizontal mode.
  • Add optional text wrap width.
  • Add optional text width with use of ellipses.
  • Cairo provides hyperlink support. Names could be hyperlinks to html complete individual reports or to web report pages.
  • The hardcoded number option limits can be altered by users, by altering the code.

Command Line Interface

Gramps provides a cli support for running reports and tools Gramps 5.2 Wiki Manual - Command Line.

  • 4114: Would like to use stdin and stdout for command line import/export.

Current limitations

  • The addon DescendantsLines does not use the Gramps document interface (Document Options). (perhaps the Gramps document interface options should be hidden)
  • DestinationOption does not have the usual error handling and user checking (e.g. for overwriting files)
  • Partial quoting of xml-syntax-like data. Data which resembles xml syntax (tags, etc) may cause error.
  • Script ignores role on event (was added in 2007)
  • Script ignores localized date handlers (using ISO date format, date quality in english)
  • Memory limitation with a large database (DOM parsing)
  • The last pixel column of each secondary line of each entry is wrong coloured (red instead black)
  • Size limit: Cairo surface size limit. (32767 for height and 32767 for width [3])
  • Some PDF output size limit (currently crossing this limit will result in an empty PDF file)

Needs

Pass 1: generate a tmp XML with only data needed for the report, to load it as input

  1. Enable Person selection (Gramps ID) - done
  2. Generate a temp Gramps XML database matching 'IsDescendantFamilyOf' filter rule - done
  3. Input path - done (need to set @prefix@: path_to_SVN/src on const.py)
  4. Clean-up - done
  • simple Gramps XML template with events, persons, families objects (only export primary event role reference).
  • 'localized' dates (does not follow last DTD, which uses english and ISO format).

FINISHED - it works fine!

Pass 2: use draw report environment

  1. Generate a plugins/docgen/PNGDrawDoc.py file 4447
  2. Move Gtk code to draw report (if possible)
  3. Move cairo code to draw report (if possible)
  4. Output path
  5. Clean-up, pylint, etc ...

Pass 2 (Alternate): use of user-defined (mega)-widgets

  1. Have a look at mega-widget request and implementation 2393
  2. Output path through mega-widget
  3. Clean-up, pylint, etc ...

Pass 2 (Alternate): use a DestinationOption

  1. Use a DestinationOption
  2. Ignore standard Filename option 5545

Development History

  • 2007: Adam Sampson created a standalone python script for parsing data.gramps (Gramps XML). [4][5]
  • 2010: this script needs some updates for avoiding minor issues.

A modified script is available from the sourceforge addons repository. [6]

Libraries

The program DescendantsLines, as the script in which it is based, is written in Python, using the following prerequistes PyCairo and the Python XML library. Many Gramps modules are also used.

Issues

  • 5545 Add a way for CATEGORY_DRAW reports to turn Gramps Document Interface Options off
  • 5823 DescendentsLines does not display a marriage date when one spouse is unknown
  • 5965 report produced with stale name from previous gramps session
  • 10390 Display options in DescendantsLines graphical report do not work as advertised
  • Help button does not link here.

See: Tag: DescendantsLines on Bugtracker

inc_marriages option?

This page mentions a "inc_marriages" option but none of the option tabs have that setting , was it removed? Or is it now called "Spouse Display Format"

Tango-Dialog-information.png
There are option and tree combinations which may generate overlapping edges and nodes.

If using the inc_marriages option the S_DOWN - S_UP difference may need to be increased by 5-15 units depending on the tree.
