Suggestion: Non-Radial Fancharts #38

Closed jojomi closed 2 years ago

jojomi commented 3 years ago

Dear Thomas,

I just put the logic for building fancharts into my familybooks. Thanks a lot for that! They are beautiful and perfectly customizable as always. The thing I thought about is, if we can use the available space better when kind of "flattening" that parent graph to a rectangular shape. I imagine n columns where each column separates to twice as many vertically stacked regions as the column before.

Did I overlook a possibility to create this efficient style by either tweaking fancharts or the general layout algorithm?

I think you look for something like the ahnentafel 5 template (page 294 of the documentation):

It could be adjusted to be more rectangular, if needed.

The new sytes a4paper 3/4/5 and display 16:9 3/4/5 are a welcome more neutral adition and kind of fit my initial idea here. Thank you for adding them!
