Definition of alternate symbols for events #46

Open scottb5612 opened 4 months ago

scottb5612 commented 4 months ago

Is it possible to redefine the symbols for death, birth etc ? Or do I have to install a private version of the entire geneaologytree package with the desired definitions?

Yes, you can change the symbols. I assume that you use database processing (chapter 7). The symbol printing is documented in 7.9 Formatting Events.

The event prefix is the symbol. For example, event prefix/birth defaults to \gtrsymBorn. With

\gtrset{
  event prefix/birth=.....,
  event prefix/marriage=...,
}

you can switch to your own symbols (or text or whatever).

I wasn't using database processing... I hadn't figured out how to suppress events in the output, so that I could just generate a tree with names only, no other information inside the box. Is there a way to do that (or do you want me to submit another issue?)

Thank you for your quick reply. SBB

I still think that you use database processing, because otherwise you would create the content of each node manually... So, my next guess it that you use a template based on database processing. Here, you could add database format=name to the option list to display only names.

For further help, a minimal working example (MWE) would be required to avoid guessing from my side.

That's a good point. I'll try database processing. I have another issue, that has to do with drawing.. Will post separately
