Place Completion Tool

Place completion tool in action

The place completion tool enables you to work on a selection of your places. It can look up latitude and longitude, and you can set county, parish, state, ... data on a group of places with one click.

Download, Manual and Installation

See: Place completion tool

Family Lines

Example of a Familylines graph with thumbnail images.

What does it do?

The family lines plugin produces .dot (Graphviz) files which can then be used to produce .gif, .png, .pdf, and many other formats. You give it a list of people of interest, and it will output only people directly related to the people of interest. For example, place your grandparents as people of interest, and select the option to follow both ancestors and children.

Not Related

Example of a NotRelated report.

Custom plugins for testing and experimentations

Safety of your database Plugins only reads the database, and attempts no changes.

  • forename.py is an alternative to statistic charts->forename or firstname.py. It uses the model list written for GRAMPS core. It lists people and retrieve the first name with a count.
  • There is some unsupported plugins, which are no more maintened on sources. And some people make modifications on existing plugins (see descendant report alternative by Joachim Breitner). Also, Richard taylor worked on a traditional style descendant tree. Currently, this plugin is no more supported by current gramps version : it is not possible to get accurate font metrics in the current report framework. This means that the names sometimes overlap and sometimes have large gaps. New GtkPrinting with Cairo/pango should provide the correct font metrics. Everybody who is able to help on Gramps GtkPrint support is welcome ...

Tips for simple custom plugin

GRAMPS offers a fantastic and powerful report manager which allow us to export on most current formats (see DbSummary.py). Also, Gramps 3.0 will introduce a SimpleAccess for report (see Quick Reports)
