The {{man label|DenominoViso}} addon creates an interactive graphical representation of an Ancestor or Descendant family tree on a web page in various format like Regular, Fan, Growth Spiral, Mandelbrot Tree and Pythagoras Tree.
;Features:
# Flat access to the data. Gramps is very hierarchical opening window after window. This is good for data entry, but not so for data display. A page created by DenominoViso shows all information about a person with a single click and some scrolling.
# Easy searching. The webpage contains a text entry and a selection field which make it easy to search on names or other properties.
# A single page website. Gramps can create a website, but it is too bulky for my taste. DenominoViso typically puts all textual information in one big file.
# Mixing family and person events. Gramps displays family events in another window then personal event. Birth of a child though, would be considered by most people as a major event during their live. DenominoViso can mix family events with personal events and represents them in chronological order.
# Fine grained control over what gets included. DenominoViso has many options that control what gets included in the webpage. Some can be included by setting a simple checkbox, others however are very advanced and should only be used by people with some experience. For example the confidence level of the source of an event can be indicated by a color; to the best of my knowledge their is no other report that can display this information.
== Usage ==
What is seen on the webpage is typically a tree structure consisting of many boxes. Hovering the mouse over a box shows the name of that person on the statusbar (browser settings must allow javascript to set text on the statusline, something which is at present typically switched off by browsers in their standard configuration). Clicking on a box displays the known details about that person.
