The DenominoViso plugin for Gramps creates an interactive graphical representation of a family tree on a webpage.
== How do I use it ==
The report is available from the menu {{man menu|Reports > Web Pages > DenominoViso}}
Some examples of how I use a page created by DenominoViso.
# I am primarily looking for information on ancestors. The large overview shown by a page created by DenominoViso, helps me to easily find which ancestors are lagging behind: the branch is tiny compared with neighboring branches.
# Finding death records is harder then birth/baptism and marriage records in Dutch archives. So temporarily I typically set death to something like "after xxxx". I can now enter "after" in the search box and search for "death events", all people that still miss their real death event show up.
# Some sources are expected to contain a considerable (geographic) group of my ancestors, for example tax records. Because in Gramps I have entered the details of that tax record in the description field of the event, I can search on this in the page created by DenominoViso. Those persons not showing up while it is expected, can easily be identified for further research.
== Why ==
# 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.
