[[Category:Tutorials]]This is a guide to creating a Family tree that can be viewed in a web-browser in a convenient way by allowing zoom zooming in/and out and navigating the image of the tree.
==How ?==
=== Installation of necessary tools ===
# Install swftools: [http://www.swftools.org/]
# use the Graphviz plugin to generate a graphical report (see [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=[Howto:_Make_a_relationship_chart]])# If the report image is called "report.png", execute "png2swf -o report.swf report.swf" on the command line.# There should now be a file report.swf, that can be opened in any browser with a flash-plugin. In my case (firefox, winows XP), I can zoom by right-clicking in the image and choosing zoom in from the menu, and I can navigate by "dragging the image" inside the window with my mouse.
I did this with the result === Generation of Example 2 on [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?titleFlash file ===Howto:_Make_a_relationship_chart]Flash is a proprietary format, of which however open implementations exist. You have to install a flash player and the resulting a browser plugin, to be able to view a flash file may be available here soonin firefox, konqueror, . I named it ancestorsAndDescedants.swf.
=== Enhancements ===You can create the flash file as follows:# If the report image is called "report.png", execute "png2swf -o report.swf report.png" on the command line.# There should now be a file report.swf, that can be opened in any browser with a flash-plugin. You can zoom by right-clicking in the image and choosing ''zoom in'' from the menu, and you can navigate by "dragging the image" inside the window with your mouse.
I did this with the result of Example 2 on [[Howto:_Make_a_relationship_chart]], and the resulting file may be available here soon. I named it ancestorsAndDescedants.swf.
 
== Enhancements ==
* It is also possible to use javascript to add zooming by moving the mouse wheel, but he who did it does not remember how at the moment.
* The .dot file generated in example 3 on [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=[Howto:_Make_a_relationship_chart]] seems to contain the web-page addresses to the personal pages of the "Narrative Webpage" report pages, and it would be nice to have links from inside the flash-application to the personal homepages. I do not know if this is possible.
