Lines connected parents and their offspring #47

I'd like to change the way that the lines are drawn to avoid some confusion in certain situations.

Here is a fragment of a genealogy tree that I'm putting into textual form. What's signficant here is that there is a horizontal line drawn between the parents and then a perpendicular line drawn down to the offspring links

I find this way of drawing the edges easier to parse than what I get from geaneologytree. A family with 2 children is one instance, but the example on page 23 of the latest manual illustrates what I mean:

If there would be a way to draw an edge between two parents, that would be a good start.

Sorry, but this is not covered by the current auto-layout algorithm. One should never say never - the fanchart library implements its own layout algorithm -, but I do not see this feature in the near future.
