Third-party plugins and unsupported plugins you can use in GRAMPS to obtain extra functionality.
Contents
Installation of unsupported or third-party plugins in GRAMPS
To use one of these plugins add the file(s) to your ~/.gramps/plugins directory, and restart GRAMPS.
Age Statistics Plugin
The age statistics plugin shows the spread of ages in your database and age differences between parents and children. By Douglas S. Blank.
What does it do? This plugin shows the spread of ages in your database and age differences between parents and children. The file is at: http://bubo.brynmawr.edu/~dblank/AgeStats.py
Plugin author Douglas S. Blank.
Safety of your database This plugin only reads your data, and attempts no changes. However it's generally a good idea to make a backup before trying unsupported plugins.
User comments Here's a sample output:

- There's an example is at http://www.home.versatel.nl/m.d.nauta/voorouders.xhtml

Place Completion Tool
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
Family Lines
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.

Here custom plugins for testing and experimentations
Maybe they not always use the right method. But there is multiple solutions. If they help someone, then it was a good reason to share them. Improve, modify them. Enjoy !!!

Tips for simple custon plugin
GRAMPS offers a fantastic and powerful report manager which allow us to export on most current formats. (see DbSummary.py)
- GRAMPS heart, core, API is written on RelLib
- On GRAMPS 2.2.x, we may use simple custom templates for exporting results (with ListModel or internal glade), or the python command line output. Fortunatly, GRAMPS 3.0 will introduce a simplified API. (see SimpleAccess.py and all_events.py).
- Tools could be written too ... (see Tool.py and DumpGenderStats.py)
