DescendantsLines is an in-development plugin for Gramps which generates a graphical descendants tree using orthogonal edges.
History
2007: Adam Sampson has written a standalone python script for parsing data.gramps (GRAMPS XML). [1]
2010: this script needs some updates for avoiding minor issues.
A modified script is available on the addons repository. [2]
Limitations
The code ignores role on event (was added in 2007).
Descendants Lines
There is an experimental try for migrating this Gtk/cairo code to a draw plugin working into Gramps (font, style, path, canvas, output formats).
Draft version is available on Addons repository as very unstable (alpha). [3]
The idea will be to keep the Gramps XML parsing, but with a copy of the active database and use of current report environment (output formats, style, path).
Needs
- Enable Person selection (Gramps ID) - done
- Generate a temp Gramps XML database matching 'IsDescendantFamilyOf' filter rule - done
- Input path - done
- Move Gtk code to draw report (if possible)
- Move cairo code to draw report (if possible)
- Output path
- Check role on event
- Clean-up, pylint, etc ...
- simple Gramps XML template with events, persons, families objects (only export primary event role reference).
- a basic descendant families textual print for draw reports: this avoids empty returns when generating reports.
- matching more than 'IsDescendantFamilyOf' filter rule; spouses and parents of central person need to be included into the XML file (hlink key).
Feel free to contribute or improve it.
