I am using Gramps 5.1.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I am a new user to the program. In order to print/plot a large poster of the complete family tree I am looking for a visualization component which is capable to do output something beautiful. Currently, I am looking at Topola Genealogy Viewer and its plugin …

I tried this many years ago when I could use a roll-paper A0 plotter but result wasn’t great at all because there were too many people on the graph (only 600 at that time). The mess comes from the fact that a complete family DB is no longer a tree because generations have not the same duration and …

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can totally understand that it is challenging to render the complete graph. There is however certain parts of the graph which I love to display. On the example of Topola I am however only able to click on one person which directly influences which part of the…

I havent played much with it myself, but an option that exist is using Graphs View plugin, use the All Connected button, and then the Print button, I think its limited to 1000 people or something at the same time but I personally dont have that yet. Will save this thread for when I eventually get t…

Thanks for pointing this out. The Graphs View menu option and toolbar icon are not shown for me. I updated to Gramps 5.1.5-1 just now. I seem to have satisfied the install requirements as stated in the wiki. If you have a hint how to install/enable the add-on that would be great.

Here is the current output of the Prerequisites Checker: Diagnostic Gramplet to help evaluate if Gramps has all prerequisites installed. You have Gramps 5.1.5. Congratulations, you have the current version. REQUIREMENTS The following packages MUST be installed (Requires the minimum version or g…

When you generate a NarrativeWeb report (for viewing your Gramps data in a web browser+), you can request an ancestry graph in each person page with as many as 9 generations. This is only ancestry, not descendants but it is quite nice as partial graphs. IMHO, the graph size needs to be adjusted thr…

The Graph View is an addon and is not installed with the main Gramps code. See the Installing Addons in Gramps . If you have already run this and not installed addons, you may have to uncheck the Do not ask about previously notified addons box. An addon like Graph View will not appear until you rest…

Thank you for pointing out the Graph View add-on. Finally, I found it in the add-ons manager and I was able install it. It looks very promising - I have to check - but it looks like it renders the complete graph. Once I output the *.svg I could even manually tweak it. I also like that I can use cus…

As mentioned by @emyoulation in an earlier discussion, you can import a GEDCOM into yEd.
