Improvement to Org Chart to support rendering a family tree

orwant commented 9 years ago

What would you like to see us add to this API?

To support a family tree the unique single parent  node requirement of Org
chart has to be dropped.

What component is this issue related to (PieChart, LineChart, DataTable,
Query, etc)?

Org Chart

Yes, this really is an annoying limitation because the organisation chart would otherwise
be ideal to create family trees

There doesn't seem to be any other plugins that can properly make a family tree so this
would be a great feature to add to the API.

maybe it would be good to do it as "any kind" of oriented graph..

for example if someone would like to do a UML using google chart api or something like
that..

Has anything been done about this? I'm trying to draw up a family tree and the single
parent issue is the *one* major downfall of the organizational chart structure.

The problem is that google uses a very simple orthogonal, grid-based layout of the nodes
in the org chart diagram.  Implementing multiple parents means that google will have
to get much smarter with the layout algorithm.  I don't see this enhancement happening
any time soon.  If you need powerful diagrams and layouts then you're better off springing
for ILOG JViews.  It's expensive, but it's very powerful.
