→Additional software GRAMPS can benefit from
* '''Graphviz''', '''Inkscape''': Gramps can make nice Genealogical trees (relationship graphs). These are generated by the Graphviz package, which defines a code (dot), as well as programs to produce graphs (dotty, to be called from command line). This gives you as researcher most power over how your tree will look, but has a learning curve. An alternative is to make a graphical report, converting the tree to an svg file, which you then can open/edit/refine in eg Inkscape.
* '''ttf-freefont''': Useful as a font that supports a large subset of the unicode and is a true type. This works well with both gnomeprint and graphviz output.
* '''[http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/overview.html pyexiv2]''' is a module that allows Gramps to read and write metadata embedded in image files. It is used in the Metadata Viewer and Image Metadata gramplets.
