birth/death/marriage places #98

Open gmarcon opened 11 months ago

Problem to which this feature request is related: very often I find myself printing a fan chart and annotating by hand the birth/death/marriage places to help me visualize how I should continue my genealogical research (for instance in which parish it makes sense to go look for which records).

Solution I would like: have options when generating the fan chart to include place data. I imagine a checkbox to request to have places and a selection of which part of the place to use, for instance the top level to see the country in a way similar to the FamilySearch fanchart, or the fourth level down to see the detailed parish level. The inner levels usually have enough space for putting this data on top of the birth/death years. Marriages could be shortened to only year instead of the full date and the place name. Additionally I think it would make sense to render the birth/death years with question marks when they are not filled (instead of "Born: 1782" show "1782 - ????", instead of "Died: 1806" show " ???? - 1806", instead of "Deceased" show "???? - ????").

Thank you very much for considering it!

+1 for including places names (I'd prefer the leaf level of the location), even if as a legend outside the pie.
