7 years ago Hello! I haven't found a good way to visualize the whole thing at once, since everything gets so small to read when you have more than a dozen generations. I have:
- a recursive outline view (starting with an early family, showing their kids, showing those people's families, their kids, etc)- maybe closest to what you're asking about, but just simple outline
- a couple kinds of index views for searching
- within the tree the user can click up and down through person/family pages
- from there I solved the problem of directing users to 'the good stuff' by making a family history content page to summarize their migration stories and link to the people/families involved
See some screenshots here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zZ8YEeHUymhm-NUMgww19PqVsyXkvOv29eIW3kwd-Lc
Important note: for this family tree application I'm using an old homemade data format. Eventually I want to get my data into a standard format like gedcom, and refactor accordingly. What format are you using for your family tree data?
thanks, Diane
Hi, I am looking for an easy, configurable way to visualize large family trees (either in PHP or JS). I found your website, and since I use Laravel as well I would very much be interested if you have any other visualizations other than the landing page. Would it be possible for you to provide a screenshot or an example of a family tree drawn with your application? Best Regards.
