== Using the Charts [[File:22x22-gramps-pedigree.png]] Category ==

Gramps relies heavily on form-based layouts of linked list items. These imply relationships between records in your family Tree. The '''Charts Category''' provides an alternative, more visual, way of representing those relationships. The positions, shapes, and colors of containers along with their connecting lines &amp; arrows can show an extra depth of interrelation with different factors. Containers can be simple color filled boxes, arcs, ribbons, or many other shapes.

* [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Fan_Chart|Fan Chart]]

The text based Gramplets tend to have names [[#Hotlink_Navigation|hotlinked for navigation]] while the graphical ones may use [[#Contextual_Menu_Navigation|contextual menus]].

Persistent Links can be created in [[Gramps_Glossary#note|Notes]]. Use the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Link_Editor|Link Editor]] in Notes to organize navigation links to different types of Gramps records following to your own organization methods. Once a Note has linked text, that linked record can be used like a Bookmark. Navigate to that record by holding the {{Man key press|CTRL}} key and clicking on the Linked Text. One note be used as a Linked Index to other Notes with different sets of Links.

Another note might be the transcribed bibliography for the published original research of another genealogist. As you collect digital copies of those originally cited references, the linked bibliography can be used as a Source acquisition checklist. When completely Linked, the Bibliography can be use to navigate through Sources for each citation while searching for unsupported conclusions, inaccuracies or omissions.

{{man note|Not your ordinary Clipboard|Note, that the Gramps Clipboard doesn't work anything like a standard computer clipboard. It works like a real clipboard in that you drag things onto it, and drag-copy them off.}}

[[File:Clipboard-dialog-example-context-menu-50.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Clipboard - dialog - Showing Context menu (right click) example]]

{{man tip|Tip|Some objects show a link icon in the left column. This indicates that dragging such selection will produce a reference to an existing object, not copy the object itself. For example, the media object file will not be duplicated. Instead, the reference will be made to an existing media object, which will result in the local gallery entry.}}

Selecting a record using the the context menu (right click) will show the following three options for each record type:

* {{man label|Make the [RECORD TYPE] active}}

* {{man label|Create Filter from the [RECORD TYPE] selected}}

{{-}}

;One example: You find a birth certificate of a person. In this certificate also the witnesses are mentioned. And the birth certificate also determines a source where the information was stored. The best way is to open the clipboard and drag the source you want to work with there. Then use drag and drop to use it in new items you use.

*{{man menu|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Export_View|Export View...]]}} - Menu only appears on most Views, if the displayed data can be exported. Gramps will export data on screen according your choice: '''CSV''' or '''Open Document''' spreadsheet format.
