Feature request: using SVG when generating relationship diagram #33

Closed hartenthaler closed 3 years ago

magicsunday uses SVG to generate pedigree and descendant charts. Using his approach would be a great enhancement for relationship diagrams, too. Very often these relationship diagrams are so large that they do not fit even on a PC screen. What do you think about replacing the existing old-fashioned and not scalable graphics by SVG?

I agree the current charts should be modernized eventually. I'll leave this task to someone else though ;-) I'm not a UI developer myself. If there was a modernized relationship chart, I could use its code optionally.

In general I'm not sure the SVG approach is the most useful one, as there are no hyperlinks or any of the other per-individual options of the old diagrams.
