- The product
- -----------
-
- TreeDraw is a specialist graphics editor for creating high quality
- genealogical drop-line charts.
-
- Descendant and ancestral trees may be imported direct from Kith and Kin tree
- files or from PAF GEDCOM files created by other genealogy programs. TreeDraw
- converts these trees into easily edited picture elements which can then be
- re-formatted and re-arranged before storing and printing.
-
- It is now easy to produce perfectly laid out charts and incorporate pictures
- diagrams and other simple graphics. The charts may be as complex or as
- simple as you wish.
-
- By importing a combination of descendant and ancestral trees from one or
- more tree files, it is possible to build complex charts which can extend in
- any direction.
-
- TreeDraw maintains a link between each chart text element and the source
- field in the original tree file. This means that you can update each text
- element automatically to mirror any changes in the original file. The tree
- link for each text element can also be modified manually. This is a powerful
- feature which gives you control over the content and format of the text in
- the chart.
-
- Additional text elements may be entered manually to provide titles,
- headings, comments, etc.
-
- As well as text, you can place into the chart simple graphics (lines, boxes,
- circles) and OLE objects like pictures, clip-art, diagrams, etc.
-
- TreeDraw lets you control the size, shape, style, colour and alignment of
- all chart elements and supports colour printing.
-
