The purpose of this GEP is to discuss new visualization techniques for possible inclusion in Gramps.
Background
At present Gramps offers three graphical visualizations of genealogical data:
- Classic family tree
- Fan chart
- Timeline pedigree
In the last few years papers have been published describing new visualization techniques.
Quilts
Family trees are presented in the form of a grid.
Feature request "4649: GeneaQuilts visualization integration" asks for this functionality.
A video, demonstration software, and a paper describing the technique can be found on the Aviz website.
Status: A Gramps implementation is currently being written.
TimeNets
This is a type of timeline tree.
Wilfried Trabold pointed this out on the gramps-users mailing list in December 2010. Gerald was in a side-discussion with the authors to explore the possibility of working together to include this in Gramps.
Status: Not known.
Dual Trees
This is a method of combining graphs in a single display.
Status: Not started.
