The purpose of this GEP is to discuss new visualization techniques for possible inclusion in Gramps.

Background

Fan Chart

At present Gramps offers three graphical visualizations of genealogical data:

  • Classic family tree
  • Fan chart
  • Timeline pedigree

In the last few years papers have been published describing new visualization techniques.


Quilts

Quilt

Family trees are presented in the form of a grid.

Feature request "4649: GeneaQuilts visualization integration" asks for this functionality.

A video, demonstration software, and a paper describing the technique can be found on the Aviz website.

Status: A Gramps implementation is currently being written.


TimeNets

TimeNet

This is a type of timeline tree.

Wilfried Trabold pointed this out on the gramps-users mailing list in December 2010. Gerald was in a side-discussion with the authors to explore the possibility of working together to include this in Gramps.

Status: Not known.


Dual Trees

Dual Trees

This is a method of combining graphs in a single display.

Status: Unexplored.
