Revision as of 20:01, 6 December 2013
The purpose of this GEP is to discuss new visualization techniques for possible inclusion in Gramps.
Contents
Background
At present Gramps offers two graphical visualizations of genealogical data as views:
- Pedigree View (Classic family tree)
- Fan chart (since Gramps 4)
Some Addons:
- TimelinePedigreeView
- GraphViz and Goocanvas: Graph View
A number of graphical and GraphViz based reports for printout:
- Classic family tree(s)
- Ancestor Tree
- Descendant Tree
- Family Descendant Tree
- GraphViz based
- Addons
- InformationGraph (Gramps 3.2.x, GraphViz based)
- DenominoViso
- Family Tree
- "Non-standards" Addons
As well as a graphical default gramplets:
- Fan Chart Gramplet
- "Textual bloc/area/tree informations" gramplets
In the last few years papers have been published describing new visualization techniques.
Quilts
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 (Nick Hall)
TimeNets
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
This is a method of combining graphs in a single display.
- Bi-directional top-down node-link diagrams
- Used for navigating genealogical graphs (family “trees”)
Status: Unexplored.
The H-Tree
A structured, space-efficient technique for pedigree visualization (to display ancestral trees).
Status: 6389 Working trial for Gramps 3.4.2 windows portable
The Gene-Tree
A structured, space-efficient technique for pedigree visualization (to display ancestral trees), using colors and symbols. This type of tree is often used for medical usage.
Status: Unexplored.
