This is {{languages|Howto: Make a Howto on how relationship chart}}How to make a relationship chart (can be for either ancestors, descendants, ...) with GRAMPS 2.2Gramps 4.x. and the [[Gramps_4.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_5#Relationship_Graph|Relationship plugingraph report]].[[Image:RelationshipChartDescendants.png|right|thumb|200px300px|An example chart]]

The report is made with the graphviz backend, so == Before you need to install [http://graphviz.org graphviz] (on linux, use your package manager). start ==

The Relationship graph report uses the GraphViz backend, which should already be installed, if not you will need to install [[Categoryhttp:Tutorials|Make a relationship chart]//graphviz.org graphviz](on linux, use your package manager).

== Before you start ==GRAMPS Gramps can produce charts, but to view them, you need other programs. We recommend that you install the following:* [http://graphviz.org Graphviz]: '''required''', whithout this, no for the creation of the relationship chartcharts* [http://www.inkscape.org/ Inkscape]: for viewing and editing svg charts, export to png* [http://www.gnu.org/software/gv/ gv], [http://linuxappfinder.com/package/kghostviewkghostview]: for viewing ps charts

* [http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html adobe reader], [http://linuxappfinder.com/package/kpdf kpdf]: for viewing pdf charts* [http://www.libreoffice.org/download LibreOffice] or [http://www.openoffice, koffice.org/ OpenOffice] or [http://www.calligra-suite.org/ Calligra]: for viewing odt documents

In GRAMPS Gramps you can define filters to make a selection of individuals, see [[Example_filters| Examples of filters]]. In the relationship chart all custom person filters you made will be available, as well as the standard descendants and ancestors filters. These last start from the active person.

{{man tip|style="width:80%;margin-top:+.7em;margin-bottom:+.7em;background-color: #c0f0ff;border:1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px" align="center"Tip|-|[[Image:Gnome-important.png]]|<center style="font-size:100%">'''Tip:''' You can add to a family stepchildren by setting the relationship of the child to the mother to ''step child''. In doing so, these children will be part of a descendant report without the need to create a custom filter to include them.</center>|}}

[[ImageFile:RelationshipChartDescendants.png|right|thumb|200px220px|A descendant chart, click for details]]Download Use the [http[example.gramps]] that came with your install, or download [https://gramps.svnraw.sourceforgegithubusercontent.netcom/viewvc/*checkout*gramps-project/gramps/trunkmaintenance/gramps2gramps41/example/gramps/example.gramps?revision=7186 example.gramps], save to a file, create a new database in GRAMPS Gramps called example.grdb, and import the example.gramps data into it.

If not the case, set the active person to ''Garnervon Zieliński, Lewis AndersonSr''.

'''{{man menu|Reports -> Graphical reports Graphs -> Realtionship graph'''Relationship Graph...}}

In the Bottom dialog, set the format to .png and chose the following in the tabs available:#* '''Paper Document Options '''-> Size : Custom Size (Set width and height to 10000 cm, or some other large value)#set the '''Report Options Output Format'''-> Filter: Ancestors of Garner, Lewis Andersson #'''Layout optons '''-> Aspect ratio: minimal sizeto .png

(I sometimes experience problems setting Chose the sizes following in the tabs available:#'''Paper options dialog. A workaround is Options '''-> Size : Custom Size (Set width and height to use the example using graphviz code in example 3 below.''10000'' cm, or some other large value)#'''Report Options '''-> ''Filter:'' '''Descendants of Garner von Zieliński, Lewis Anderson Sr''' #'''GraphViz Layout'''-> ''Graph Direction:'' '''Horizontal (<-)'''#'''GraphViz Options'''-> ''Aspect ratio:'' '''Compress to minimal size'''

The result (using gramps 2.2.7) can be seen Select '''OK''' to generate the right. You can use print this on a dedicated printer (check dpi of png!), or you can use this image on a website to share. In the last case, you can use the trick explained in [[Make flash plugin from a png]], to make the resulting graph easier to navigatechart.

The result can be seen to the right. You can use print this on a dedicated printer (If required change the '''GraphViz Options''' DPI of png file.), or if you use the default DPI of 72 you can use this image on a website to share. In the last example below, you can use the tip explained in [[Make flash plugin from a png]], to make the resulting graph easier to navigate. In the chart image you see , males in are blue, females in are pink and the yellow balloons indicate a family node in which a marriage date is printed (if known). You can select not to see this family node by deselecting in the '''Graphviz OptionsGraph Style''' tab the option ''Show family nodes''.

[[Image:RelationshipChartAncestors.png|right|thumb|350px|An ancestor chart, click for details-'''Large file-853kb!''']]Download and open the example.gramps file as in Example 1-A 

Repeat the process in Example 1-aA, but choose the filter ''Ancestors of Warner, Carl Thomas'' this time.  [[File:RelationshipChartAncestors small.png|right|thumb|300px|Example Relationship ancestor chart. (For the detailed image, [[Media:RelationshipChartAncestors.png| click here (1.49mb!))]]]] You can see the result to the right.

You can see the result to the right. This is already an extremely large graph. It can only be readily viewed in a good image viewer. For printing you need to resort to printing on several pages, or you need access to a large plotter.

{{out of date| example 2 & 3 and section below them still need a bit of an update }}{{man note|Note: |This example uses filters. See [[Example filters| Examples of filters]] for an introductory example.}}<!-- Can not find Cristiansen, Frances in example.gramps -->

Now close the filter editor, and follow the instructions given in Examples 1a and 1b, but this time choosing the filter '''Frances2''' in the '''Report Options''' tab. The result is visible to  [[Image:RelationshipChartAncestorsAndDescendants_small.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. A large chart.

This file is then a dot file which can be processed by Graphviz. Eg, to make from the gv file a ps file, Gramps uses: dot -Tps:cairo -o"file.ps" "file.gv" for svg: dot -Tsvg -o"file.svg" "file.gv" Choose the filter you want to use, and set also as many of the other options as possible to the desired values (as explained in Example 1-A)

The Graphviz '''.gv''' dot file is a text file with a well explained documented structure, for extra info(See: [http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation.php www.graphviz.org/Documentation] )  digraph GRAMPS_graph { bgcolor=white; center="true"; charset="utf8"; concentrate="false"; dpi="72"; graph [fontsize=14]; .... then the actual Gramps data are shown: I0585 [ shape="box" fillcolor="#e0e0ff" style="solid,filled" label="Kristensen, John Francis\"Chick\"\n(1889-10-10 - 1938-10-23)" ];

*For paper size, : look around line 36-37 for two lines that define the "page" (paper size) and "size" (area of paper to use), and change these to '''some large values'''. This is important as otherwise the figure will be wrongly scaled giving bad and the picture quality will be poor (eg unreadable text).

*If you encounter bad fonts (missing characters) or wrong fontsizes, see [[Howto:_Make_a_relationship_chart#Example_3:_Generating_the_graph_by_using_the_Graphviz_command_line_tool|Example 3 ]] on how you can set the font yourself.*If you have a bad resolution of png, eg unreadable text, this is probably because you have set a paper size which is to small. See Exampe [[Howto:_Make_a_relationship_chart#Example_1-A:_a_descendant_chart|Example 1-A]]: set the papersize of number of pages to a high number, but select in '''Layout GraphViz Options''', in ''Aspect ratio'': <tt>automatically use optimal number pagesFill the given area</tt>, or use <tt>Compress to minimal size</tt> {{man warn|Reports and custom IDs|After a GEDCOM import, your database can use some non-standard IDs (ie. 123I or 456U not set on {{man menu|Edit --> Preferences --> ID Formats}}).
