Back to Index of Reports.

Graphical Reports

Graphical reports represent information in forms of charts and graphs. Most of the options are common among graphical reports, therefore they will be described only once, at the end of this section. The few options which are specific to a given report will be described directly in that report's entry. See also substitution values.

The following graphical reports are currently available in Gramps:

Ancestor Tree

This report generates the chart of people who are ancestors of the Active Person.

Paper Options

With the Paper Options you can change Paper format (Size and Orientation) and margins (Left, Right, Top and Bottom) and use metric values or not.

Document Options

Choose the output format: Open Document Text, PDF document, PostScript, Print..., or SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). A check box is available where you can indicate to open the made document with LibreOffice Word Processor or a Document Viewer (PDF file).

Tree Options tab

Tree Options tab

The Center Person is chosen here. The Active person will be the default.

With the input field Generations you can change the number of generations considered.

Display unknown generations will allow you to select how many generations of empty boxes to display when the tree is not completely full.

Here is also the check box Compress tree.

Center person uses which format: allows you to specify if the center person uses the father display format or the mother display format found on the Display tab.

Display tab

Display tab

This tab allows you to determine the Father Display Format to be used for the report. All fathers, grandfathers, etc. will use this format.

The Mother Display Format to be used for all mothers, grandmothers, etc. will use this format.

The {} around the death information line states that this entire line will display ONLY when there is death information. See Substitution Values for more information, including how to include places and attributes, and format names and dates and places.

Include Marriage box specifies to display an extra box between a father and mother that contains marriage information. The Marriage Display Format (see Substitution Values) specifies what will print in this box.

Size tab

Sizes tab

Scale tree to fit will make the tree larger or smaller to fit the page as desired. The options are:

  • Do not Scale the tree
  • Scale tree to fit page width only
  • Scale tree to fit the size of the page

where Resize page to fit tree will make the page larger or smaller to fit the tree

If both are selected, the options happen in that order; scale the tree first, then the page.

These two options are better described in Size options with tips for making nicer reports.

Include tab

Note tab

This tab gives you the option to include other items on the report.

Report title allows you to choose a title for the report.

  • Do not print a title
  • Include Report Title

And this tab also includes check boxes for Include a border, Include page numbers, and Include blank pages.

This tab also allows you to Include a note to one of the corners of the report.

“$T” within the note will display the day that the report was made. Regular date formatting (see Substitution Values) applies.

Currently a note will be attached to a corner. If a person box writes over it, the note box will not move. Select another corner to see the note tab if this happens.

Descendant Tree

This report generates a graph of people who are descendants of the Active Person. Specific options include the format of the displayed entries.

Paper Options

With the Paper Options you can change

  • Paper format (Size and Orientation)
  • Margins (Left, Right, Top and Bottom)

and whether to use metric values or not.

Document Options

  • Output Format: choose the output format:
    • Open Document Text
    • PDF document
    • PostScript
    • Print...
    • SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). A check box is available where you can indicate to open the made document with LibreOffice Word Processor or a Document Viewer (PDF file).
  • Filename: default value is /home/<username>/descend_chart.pdf.
  • Style: default default style . With the Style Editor... you can add Document Styles.

Descendant report Tree tab

Descendant Options tab

Report for: option will select the center person for this report. The currently home person will be the default person displayed.

Start with the parent(s) of the selected first will display parents of the center person if the parents are known. As such any siblings of the center person will be displayed too.

This is broken apart from the tree tab as the 'Family Descendant Report' only differs in this one part on this tab.

Tree tab

Descendant Options tab

Both of the Descendant Tree and Family Descendant Tree reports share these features on the Tree tab:

The number of Generations to see on the report (from the center person/family). If Start with the parent(s) of the selected first is selected, this number is effectively increased by one.

Level of spouses specifies the how deep to display spouses.

For the example:

  • Abe is a direct descendant
    • Abe has/had married Barbra and had two children
    • Abe also married Bridget and had one child
      • Bridget has/had married Carl.
        • Carl and Denise had a child.

Given the above example, this is what will be displayed for the first three Level of spouses options.

  • 0 means that only direct descendants will be shown. Nothing on the Secondary tab will be shown (Spousal information or Marriage information). For the example above, only Abe will be shown with three children directly under him
  • 1 means that only spouses of the direct descendants will be shown. For the example above, Abe will be shown with two pieces of marriage information. Under the first will be two children and one child under the second.
  • 2 means that spouses of spouses are shown. Same as 1 but Bridget will also show her other marriage. If they had any children, they would be shown too.
  • 3 means that everyone in the example above will be displayed.

Any option above 1 is very hard to read on the report without the Indent Spouses option on the Secondary tab. And last but not least is the Compress Tree option which tries to move everyone up as far as they can go (compress) and still have a readable report.

Display tab

Descendant Display tab

Descendant Display Format sets the display for all descendants in the tree. The default is:

$n
b. $b
{d. $d}

The {} around the death information line states that this entire line will display ONLY when there is death information. See Substitution Values for more information, including how to include places and attributes, and format names and dates and places.

And the check box Bold direct descendants can also make the report easier to read.

You can set the Spousal Display format. If you do not wish to have the separate marital box, the spousal box can be used for marriage information. This option defaults as above.

Indent spouses will offset spouses a little from each other making it easier to know who has married who.

Include marriage box will display a separate box on the tree for marriage information. The display for this box is set in Marriage Display format.


Replace tab

Descendant Replace tab

This allows you to put in pairs of strings separated by '/' that state what you want to replace and what you want to replace it with.


Example:

The United States of America/USA
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland/UK
Llanfair­pwllgwyn­gyllgo­gerychwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogogoch/Llanfairpwll

Every column width is defined by the widest box in the report. So if one box happens to be a lot wider than all of the others, a lot of space will be wasted. This option allows you to remove or abbreviate parts of the string that is not needed or can be cut down so the amount of space wasted is minimal.

Include tab

Descendant Replace tab

Report title allows you to choose a title for the report.

  • Do not print a title
  • Descendant Chart for [selected person(s)]

And this tab also includes check boxes to Include a border, Include page numbers, and Include blank pages.

This tab also allows you to Include a note to one of the corners of the report.

“$T” within the report will display the day that the report was made. Regular date formatting (see Substitution Values) applies.

Currently a note will be attached to a corner. If a person box writes over it, the note box will not move. Select another corner to see the note tab if this happens.

Final Result

Fig. 8.9 Descendant Tree Result

The final result can be seen on the right side.


Family Descendant Tree

Gramps-notes.png
Shared options with the Descendant Tree report

This report only has three differences from the 'Descendant Tree' report. The only differences are:

  1. this report runs off of a family instead of a person (differences on the tree tab)
  2. More options for a report title (on the Include tab)
  3. the final result

Tree Tab

Descendant Options tab

Report for: option will select the center family (Father and Mother) for this report. The currently active family will be the default family displayed.

Choosing Start with the parent(s) of the selected first may display two sets of parents (if the parents of both the father and mother are known). One set of parents for the father, and another set of parents for the mother of the family (ie grandparents of the children). As such, any siblings of the father will be shown on the fathers side and any siblings with the mother will be displayed with her. So the children of the center family will see their grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts and even cousins if there are any.

Include Tab

The Report Title: has these additional options:

  1. Do not print a title
  2. Descendant Chart for [selected person(s)]
  3. Family Chart for [names of chosen family]
  4. Cousin Chart for [names of children] (Only available if Start with the parent(s) of the selected first is chosen)

Final Result
