*=== Active Person: At the top of the screen, name, ID, birth, and death information, calculated age of the Active Person is displayed. If a photo of the person is available, it is shown on the right hand side. Next to the person's name is a symbol indicating gender, and an {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button. Clicking the {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button will allow you to edit all of the person's individual information in an {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog.===
*=== Family: === Similar to the Parents section is the Family section, which displays families where the Active Person is a parent. Because it is possible to have multiple families, it is possible to have multiple Family sections. Each family section displays the spouse and any children.

Genealogical information is very broad and can be extremely detailed. Displaying it poses a challenge that Gramps takes on by dividing and organizing the information into a series of Categories, each with their own Views. Each View displays a portion of the total information, selected according to a particular category. This will become clearer as we explore the different Categories.
== Relationships Category ==
[[ImageFile:RelationshipsViewRelationshipsCategoryView-4041.png|right|450px|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Relationships Category view]]
The Relationships Category displays all the relationships of the Active Person (the selected person). Specifically, it shows his or her parents, siblings, spouses, and children.
The Relationships Category displays the following sections:
*At the top of the screen, name, ID, birth, and death information, as well as the calculated age of the Active Person is displayed. * On the right hand side a photo of the person if available, will be shown. You can click on the photo to open it in the default picture viewer. * Next to the person's name is a symbol indicating gender, and an {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button. Clicking the {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button will allow you to edit all of the person's individual information in an {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog. === Parents: === The next section, the Parents section, displays the families in which the person is a child. Since it is possible for a person to have multiple sets of parents, it is possible to have several Parents sections.
You can control how much information is displayed by using the {{man menu|View}} menu. The view menu allows you to show or hide details (the birth and death information) and to show or hide siblings. Next to each person listed is an {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button, which will allow you to edit all the details of that particular person.
{{man warn| Warning |If you are not careful, it is possible to create multiple families with the same parents. This is rarely what the user wants to do. If you attempt to add a new family that has the same parents as an existing family, Gramps will issue a warning dialog. If you get this dialog, you should probably Cancel the edit, and then use the {{man button|Select}} button to select the existing family.}}
{{man note | Spouse |We use the term spouse for sake of simplicity. However, please note that spouse may in fact be a domestic partner, a partner in a civil union, or various other similar relationships between two people. Spouse relationships are not required to be only between a male and female.}}
Clicking once sorts in ascending order, clicking again sorts in descending order. The {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog may be used to add, remove and rearrange the displayed columns.
===Map Service===If a place has been highlighted, you may select the {{man button|Attempt to see selected locations with a Map Service (OpenstreetMap, Google Maps, loading...}} button to attempt to display the place in a web browser.The map service can be chosen from From the {{man button|Select a Map Service}} drop down list under you can choose the black triangle map service you want to use from the right of the map button.following three options:* '''OpenStreetMap'''(default)* GoogleMaps* EniroMaps
Your default web browser should open, attempting to use either the longitude and latitude coordinates or the place name to display the location using the Google Maps provider web site. Different map services might have different requirements for the location description.
This feature is limited, and may not always produce the results you desire.

# Where to save the tiles of the map (default is ''$HOME/.gramps/maps''). Be careful, it can take several gigabytes.# The zoom level when we center the map or when we select one marker. Every time the Geographic View redraws the map, this zoomlevel will be used# Use keypad for shortcuts. Either we choose the + and - from the keypad if we select this or we use the characters from the keyboard.
=====Specific views=====
See the description of the view.
====How to zoom and move around the map ?====
=====Zoom in and Zoom out the map=====
To zoom, you can use :
# The +/- buttons on the top left of the map
# The scroll mouse.
# The "+" or "-" key on the keypad (default).
You can replace the numeric keypad by the alpha numeric keyboard in the configuration view.
=====Move around the map=====
To move around the map, you can :
# Clic on the map, then drag it.
# Use the arrows.
====The mouse actions on the map====

In this menu, you can select {{man label|Add place }} or {{man label|Link place}}
When you add a place or try to link a place to the position of the mouse, you'll get a place selection in a region.
Another way to set latitude and longitude :
* Download the [[Place completion tool]] via the menu {{man menu[[4.1_Addons#Installing_Addons_in_Gramps|Help->Plugin Manager}}Addons manager]]. If you download the data of your country, this tool can add latitude-longitude to all your places.
====How to change the map provider ?====

====Can we change the marker's color ?====
For this, click on the right button of the mouse, you'll get a popup menu.
In this menu, you can select lock or unlock zoom and position.
===Prerequisites to see the geography view===
For gramps 4.x, you need to install osmgpsmap version 1.0 and above and the associated gir package.
For example on ubuntu, you must have : gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 and libosmgpsmap-1.0-0
===Possible problems===
#No view : do you have osmgpsmap installed ? (''gramps -v'' may help you)
#No tiles : do you have an internet connection active ?
#No tiles for one provider : if other providers are OK, file a bug
#Missing tiles : you have no internet connection and it's the first time you try to show the current place.
#Missing tiles : this can be the same as no tiles for one provider if they modify the access rules (i.e user-agent)
#Other : file a bug
== Sources Category ==
Most frequently, these are images, audio files, animation files, etc. The list box on the bottom lists the {{man label|Name}} , {{man label|ID}} , {{man label|Type}} , and {{man label|Path}} of the Media Object.
The {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog may be used to rearrange the displayed columns, which obey usual sorting rules. The top bottom part of the Gramps window shows a preview (if available) in the "Preview" tab and information about the Media Objectis available from the other tabs. In the "Preview" tab you can double click on the media/photo to open it in the default picture viewer.
{{-}}
A Note is pure text, as stored in the other objects.
The functionality of the notes View is similar to the other views. The view lists all {{man label|Notes}} stored in the {{man label|Family Tree}}. Using the menu {{man menu|View ->Configure View...}} you open the {{man label|Column Editor}} and you can change the displayed columns. The possibilities are {{man label|Preview}}, {{man label|ID}}, {{man label| Type}}, {{man label|Private}}, {{man label|Tags}} and {{man label|MarkerLast Changed}}.
The {{man label|Type}} can be (amongst others): ''Event Note'', ''Address Note'',''Source text'', ''Place Note''
Double-clicking on a Note in the list will bring up a window where you can edit the Note. You can change fonts, font color and background color. A spellchecker is available for ''English'' and your local language.
By selecting two notes you can use {{man menu|Edit > Merge...}} from the menu to merge them.
{{-}}
== Hidden Web Category == {{man note|Note|By default the '''Web Category''' is normally hidden. The ''Web Category'' is called the '''Html View ''' in the Plugin Manager.}}{{man warn|Warning|From Gramps version 4.2.0 the '''Web Category ==''' was removed as a Gramps core plug and is separately available from the Third-Party Addons as [[Addon:HtmlView|HtmlView]]}}
[[Image:Unhide_Html_View.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Unhide Html View]]
In order to make this view the ''Web Category/Html View'' available:* You must ensure that the webkit module is available.(???)
* Once you have started Gramps with the webkit module available, you can go into {{man menu|Help ->Plugin Manager}}, find the Html View item,select it and click on {{man button|Hide/Unhide}}.
* You must then quit Gramps and start it up again.
