The DenominoViso plugin Addon for Gramps creates an interactive graphical representation of a family tree on a webpage. == Usage == The report is available from the menu {{man menu|Reports > Web Pages > DenominoViso}} == How the developer uses it == 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 ==
What is seen on the webpage is typically a tree structure consisting of many boxes. Hovering the mouse over a box shows the name of that person on the statusbar (browser settings must allow javascript to set text on the statusline, something which is at present typically switched off by browsers in their standard configuration). Clicking on a box displays the known details about that person.
== Additional benefits Features ==
# Flat access to the data. Gramps is very hierarchical opening window after window. This is good for data entry, but not so for data display. A page created by DenominoViso shows all information about a person with a single click and some scrolling.
# Easy searching. The webpage contains a text entry and a selection field which make it easy to search on names or other properties.
# A single page website. Gramps can create a website, but it is too bulky for my taste. DenominoViso typically puts all textual information in one big file.
# 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.
# Finegrained 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. == What is missing ==# Most notable missing feature is the ability to limit data on living persons. You have to make the right privacy setting in Gramps to exclude them from a page created by DenominoViso.# Repository information is at present not included in the page created by DenominoViso. == How do I use it == The report is available from the menu '''Reports > Web Pages > DenominoViso''' Some examples of how I use a page created by DenominoViso.# I am primarily looking for information on ancestors.
