== My Gramps development ==

automatically reload addons in Gramps without restart required

visualize a family tree

-- 1. Reload addons --

This happens in file xyz. TODO write commits

-- 2. Family Tree -- This is based on the xyz addon, which utilizes the GraphViz todo link library.

I tailored it to my needs, but tried to keep the implementation still a bit generic.

My goal was similar to the hourglass view.

I have one person in the center with his spouses and get all descendants and ancestors of those initial persons. When ancestor have siblings they are abbreviated in the family-bubble. When the descendants have a spouse with unrelated children, those will be abbreviated inside that person.

TODO:

• bigger images and text when enough space - currently it will increase the arch length
• more customizable which persons to use: maybe add person per hand and then asking in popup if parents, children if yes, it will further ask and in the end, all are inside
• correctly order the people by: family (1. child of a family) number in family
• show number of childs and grandchilds of people in this round view, where normally the marriage is inside
