Yes. Different people have different ideas of what a genealogical tree is. Some think of it as a chart going from the distant ancestor and listing all his/her descendants and their families. Others think it should be a chart going from the person back in time, listing the ancestors and their families. Yet other people think of a table, text report, etc.

GRAMPS can produce any of the above, and many more different charts and reports. Moreover, the plugin architecture enables users (you) to create their own plugins which could be new reports, charts, or research tools.

Text reports are available in HTML, PDF, ODT, LaTeX, and RTF formats. Graphical reports (charts and diagrams) are available in PostScript, PDF, SVG, ODS, and GraphViz formats.

The reports are in the language of your linux installation. You can change it by installing extra language packs, see [[Howto: Change the language of reports]]

GRAMPS can store web addresses and direct your browser to them. It can import data that you download from the Internet. It can export data that you could send over the Internet. GRAMPS is familiar with the standard file formats widely used on the Internet (e.g. JPEG, PNG, and GIF images, MP3, OGG, and WAV sound files, QuickTime, MPEG, and AVI movie files, etc). Other than that, there is little that a genealogical program can do with the Internet.

Yes. There are many levels of customization. One is creating or modifying the templates used for the reports. This gives you some control over the fonts, colours, and some layout of the reports. You can also use GRAMPS controls in the report dialogs to tell what contents should be used for a particular report. In addition to this, you have an ability to create your own filters -- this is useful in selecting people based on criteria set by you. You can combine these filters to create new, more complex filters. Finally, you have an option to create your own plugins. These may be new reports, research tools, import/export filters, etc. This assumes some knowledge of programming in Python.

This is a limitation of the built-in fonts of PS and PDF formats. To print non-Latin text, use the Print... in the format selection menu of the report dialog. This will use the <code>gnome-print</code> backend, which supports PS and PDF creation, as well as direct printing. (Note: you might need to install gnome-print separately as it is not required for GRAMPS).

If you only have Latin text, the PDF option will produce a smaller PDF compared to that created by gnome-print, simply because no font information will be embedded.

Je kunt het gemakkelijkste een bijdrage te leveren door een bestaand verslag, filter. hulpgereedschap en zo voort te copiëren. Kun je maken wat je wilt hebben door bestaande code te wijzigen -- geweldig! Als je wens niet past in een reeds bestaand GRAMPS gereedschap, zul je je eigen plugin van voor af aan moeten schrijven. Er is hulp aanwezig op [[Portal:Developers|Developers Portal]], of op de [[Contact|Developers mailing list]]: [email protected].

Om je werk (tussentijds) te testen sla je je plugin op in de map $HOME/.gramps/plugins. Bij het starten van GRAMPS wordt het dan gevonden en geïmporteerd. Als de code van de plugin correct is wordt de plugin automatisch geregistreerd en wordt een menu-item gemaakt en zo voort.

Als je tevreden bent over je plugin en de code aan het GRAMPS project wilt aanbieden, ben je welkom om contact met ons op te nemen op mailadres [email protected]
