Hello,  
I want to make a descendant tree for a family party. But the family is very large (+/- 200 members) and we can’t read all the names in the graph. Is it possible to modify the size of the tree (even if I have to print it on A1)?  
Thank you very much.  
Gramps version : AIO64-5.2.0-r1-6167151

There are other threads that talk about printing over-sized charts and adjusting the Font Size for that.

> Hello. I have a family tree for 120 people, and I want them all on one big poster. When building: Reports → Graphs → Relationship graph, I choose the paper size A0, and I choose the maximum font size - 128. This A0 format, before printing on the printer, I split into 18 A4 sheets. And after printing on paper, I get a very small text, it is convenient to read the names only with a magnifying glass. Is there any way to increase the font size?

I simply wanted to reference [my post](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/printable-visualization-of-the-complete-family-tree/2260) so you can browse through what other people suggested there. In the end I was pretty happy with the output which ended up as a 2 meters printed wallpaper. Regarding the Python hack: It was a way to programmatically add all person IDs into the selection which I was too lazy to do manually due to the fact I had to do it repetitively until I rendered my final print PDF.

> So we had a birthday party for an older cousin of mine that included a few branches of my Mom’s family. Family history questions have come up in the past and, at the last minute, I decided that I wanted to take a couple of Gramps reports in case anyone was interested. I took a Kinship Report for the guy having the birthday. For parameters, I took it back to his g-grandparents and down to his grandchildren. That seemed to work pretty well in that it covered everybody who showed up at the gath…

There are others too… several different objectives are discussed in other threads.
