Graphical Cousin Report - Work in progress page

Everyone has been telling me how this report should run/look. Ok, I'll write them down here and... uh think.

Known Errors

Beta 2 has an error where it doesn't print lines that cross multiple pages correctly. Fixed for Beta 3

I really like future features

8. Always nice to generate a small box somewhere that says "Print Date...". Perhaps an option in the Print tab under "Print page numbers"?

Maybe Future features

  • Thinking of adding notes to the report as seen in 'Reports -> Graphs -> Family Lines Graph' and scroll all the way to the far right of the options.
  • Maybe adding a border around the report.
  • any others that you can think of?

1. Title - perhaps family name should be used as well? In my case it could be "Cousin Chart for Thomas Armstrong and James Wilson Armstrong". Or "...Thomas and James Wilson Armstrong".
2. Left column - Armstrong, John and McFarlane, unknown. No lines joining people to the event as there is with Armstrong, Thomas and Wilson, Margaret. In fact Armstrong, Thomas and Wilson, Margaret is the only relationship where the people and event are tied together.
5. Would it be better to tie main person with event and spouse with a verticle line instead of horizontal lines out the end of the box? See my example in red with Armstrong, James Wilson and Casey, Ann. Of greater importance with families in the right column.

Other

From: Benny Malengier ([email protected])

why not call it 'Extended Descendant Tree' or 'Cousin Descendant Tree'.
ok, maybe a different name... Any other thoughts?
2/Do you think it possible to merge descendant tree code with your code?
A (far?) future yes.
3/Color information. I believe a chart like this can show its information better with a bit of color. I am thinking a color for the father ancestors, a color for the mother ancestors, and then a color per uncle/aunt. This could be a single option, that when selected removes the drop down shadows. As a comparison, a chart of a commercial competitor

Not me, but maybe an error somewhere else

Also, SVG output format is not well formed

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: file:///home/jerome/cousin_chart.svg Line Number 98, Column 64:<text x="2.93cm" y="2.89cm" style="fill:#000000; font-weight:"bold"; font-size:9; font-family:sans-serif;">.....</text>

font-weight:"bold" will break style=""

Maybe to write style="fill:#00000; font-size:9; font-family:sans-serif;" next (or just before) font-weight:"bold" ?
