The purpose of this GEP is to discuss new visualization techniques for possible inclusion in Gramps.
Background
At present Gramps offers two graphical visualizations of genealogical data as views:
- Pedigree View (Classic family tree)
- Fan chart
And a number of graphical reports for printout:
- Classic family tree(s)
- Ancestor Tree
- Descendant Tree
- Family Descendant Tree
- Fan chart
- Timeline pedigree
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.
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.
