The DenominoViso plugin for GRAMPS is a third party plugin that creates an interactive graphical representation of a family tree. This version is just an update of that for GRAMPS 2, to work with the new plugin-architecture of GRAMPS 3, no new functionality has been added.
== Why ==
If your tree of ancestors/descendents grows a bit bigger, traditional graphical representations run out of space and you are left with viewing only part of your tree. The DenominoViso plugin mitigates this by dropping names and other textual details from the boxes that make up a tree so that many more boxes, thus a larger section of the tree, can be put in view.
== How ==
The consequence of this is that the document needs to be interactive to determine which box belongs to which person, thus DenominoViso creates a grapical webpage in SVG/XHTML/javascript. Such a document can be displayed with standard compliant browsers such as Firefox or Opera (Internet Explorer will '''not''' do).
== What's in a name ==
The name DenominoViso is derived from a use-case I had not realized before I wrote this plugin. It means something like "let's have a look at namegiving". It turns out that in my family not only family names can be traced back over centuries, but also firstnames where children are typically named after their grandparents or great grandparents if there are many of them. Pages created with the DenominoViso plugin are ideal for this, just enter the specific part of the name in the search field and search for "Name".
==Version History==
This version is just an update of that for GRAMPS 2, to work with the new plugin-architecture of GRAMPS 3, no new functionality has been added.
