Implement the charting method used in Gene

Gene: The example is a descendent chart, but other charts are also part of Gene, see here. This is the most space efficient method I have seen - it has the clearest charts with the least amount of white space. Implementing it may rely on getting information from David Eppstein, though there is quite a lot on his website about his research on graph drawing techniques. I have tried to contact him to see whether he would share the code of his algorithms, but he has never replied - perhaps someone who has academic contacts could try to connect with him again.

Implement / Complete visualization techniques

Currently visualisation techniques available in Gramps are add-ons. It would be nice to have these worked into Gramps.
