Want to add to existing program for tracking goats #1

Hey, I am making a program to keep track of a herd of goats. I want a family tree maker that can show you a visual representation of any goats family tree. I really like the look of this program, I am having some issues implementing it though. When I run the code just with a simple text file I have made of a small selection of goats (I want this to be automated later on by reading from the database and creating the text file dynamically) but what happens is it only displays in a single line all the goats I have added, not in a family tree way. Also, I have to run the dot command seperately to get the image generated. WIth goats, a single female will sometimes have children with different males. how does your program handle this? I realise it is not the exact same case as a human family tree, I just wanted to reach out and see what you had to say. Thanks. T.V.

Hi @UnclassedPenguin,

I just tried to use familytreemaker to create a tree of a bird species. I think it is not implemented that an individual can have more than one mating partner. May I asked if you have found an alternative programme that can implement this?

Best, Lara

@UnclassedPenguin if you have them all in one line, then you chose the wrong ancestor - you have to choose one of the earliest ancestors as origin. I just modeled my family tree with remarriages just fine.
