I like to hear if and how it would be possible to replicate via Gramps’ Descendant Tree Report with using its various formatting/reporting option settings, a descendant tree that looks close to the family tree layout which was designed (and manually produced) by my cousin as showed in the attached image.

The report spans across multi-page, with the tree down the generation going from top to bottom, and has two orthogonal axes:

- the vertical axis representing time with tick marks in 25-year (~ one generation) units

- the horizontal axis containing search-index tick marks for used in conjunction with a name-\>search\_index mapping report which would be automatically generated as an integral by-product of the descendant tree report generation.

TIA.

There are the [Life Line Chart](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Life_Line_Chart_View) addon views. May not be totally what you want but they do have have a timeline scale.

When installing, you will need to add [Prerequisite](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Life_Line_Chart_View#Prerequisites) components.
