Hi,

is there a way to display the hourglass graph view horizontally instead of vertically and also display the spouses?  
or maybe that you can switch between the views.  
as we are a very large family, the vertical view is absolutely not suitable.  
you can also refer me to the person responsible.  
this is a feature that i would really like to see.  
i really like the project please keep up the great work.

best regards

Hi, not at the moment. You can see e.g. here for a feature request [Family tree option to see every person · Issue #313 · gramps-project/gramps-web · GitHub](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web/issues/313).

Interesting.

I was just going to post a similar question, except, my default tree view is horizontal, for hourglass, ancestor or descendant views.

My versions differ a bit:

Gramps 5.1.6  
Gramps Web API 1.5.1  
Gramps Web Frontend 24.1.2

multi-tree: false
