"Graph View" - addon - In action showing both ancestors and descendant trees

FamilyTreeView is an interactive Charts Charts category view addon that presents a navigable ancestors and descendant tree using the current active person as a starting point. Clicking another person in the family tree will make that person the active person and will redraw the family tree based on them.

Usage
