[[ImageFile:Relations_fanchartChartsView-desendantfan-fullcircle-9gen-default-41.png|thumb|right|thumb|350px400px|Descendant Fan ChartView - full circle]]
At present Gramps offers two graphical visualizations of genealogical data as views:
* [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Pedigree_View|Pedigree View]] (Classic family tree)* [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Fan_Chart_View|Fan chart]] (since Gramps 4)
Some Addons:
* GraphViz and Goocanvas: [[Graph_View|Graph View]]
A number of [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports#Graphical_Reports|graphical]] and [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports#Graphs|GraphViz based]] reports for printout:
* Classic family tree(s)
** Family Descendant Tree
* GraphViz based
** [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_5#Family_Lines_Graph|Family Lines Graph]]** [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_5#Hourglass_Graph|Hourglass Graph]]** [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_5#Relationship_Graph|Relationship Graph]]
* Addons
** [[InformationGraph]] (Gramps 3.2.x, GraphViz based)
** [[DescendantsLines]]
As well as a graphical [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets|default gramplets]]:
* Fan Chart Gramplet
* [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_1_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Using_Gramplets|"Textual bloc/area/tree informations" gramplets]]
== Quilts ==
[[Image:Quilt.gif|right|thumb|350px400px|Quilt]]
Family trees are presented in the form of a grid.
 
Quilts allow the visualization of large genealogies up to several thousand individuals, by using a diagonally-filled matrix, where rows are individuals and columns are nuclear families.
A video, demonstration software, and a paper describing the technique can be found on the Aviz website.
== TimeNets ==
[[Image:TimeNet.gif|right|thumb|350px400px|TimeNet]]
This is a type of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline timeline tree].
== Dual Trees ==
[[Image:DualTrees.gif|right|thumb|350px400px|Dual Trees]]
This is a method of combining graphs in a single display.
The H-tree based layout can be used to display ancestral trees. This layout increases the number of displayable generations, via a symmetrically arranged structure, provides the the user with an overview that allows them to understand and navigate through the data.
Status: See {{bug|6389}} for a working trial for Gramps 3.4.2 windows portableand [[Addon:HtreePedigreeView|Gramps 4.1.1]](with minor file changes)
[[File:Htree trial modified grid Horizontal Left to Right gramps3.4.241.png|thumb|left|600px|Trial 31 person H-tree trial(5 generation(31 people shown) H-tree on (Gramps 34.41.20 Windows 7)]]
{{-}}
== The Gene-Tree ==
[[Image:cranefoot.png|thumb|350px400px|The gene-tree (Cranefoot)]]
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.
