Summary description: Pedigree and genealogical tree diagrams
Announcement text:
* Danish translation provided by Mikkel Eide Eriksen - new value danish for '/gtr/language' * French translation provided by Denis Bitouzé - new value french for '/gtr/language' * Separate document genealogytree-languages added to give a short survey of language settings. * New values for '/gtr/date format': typical, dd mon.yyyy, d mon.yyyy, dd/mm yyyy, yyyymmdd. The initial setting is changed to be typical. * New data key '/gtr/database/profession' accompanied by \gtrDBprofession, \gtrPrintProfession, \gtrifprofessiondefined, and '/gtr/profession code' * Option settings for '/gtr/database format' updated to process '/gtr/database/comment' and '/gtr/database/profession' * New environment 'gtrinfolist' and new corresponding option '/gtr/info separators' * Implementation for level sensitive variables changed to support extension packages. * Implementation for '\gtruselibrary' changed to support third party extension packages.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/genealogytree The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/genealogytree/

genealogytree – Pedigree and genealogical tree diagrams
Pedigree and genealogical tree diagrams are proven tools to
visualize genetic and relational connections between
individuals. The naming (tree
) derives from historical family
diagrams. However, even the smallest family entity consisting of
two parents and several children is hardly a mathematical
tree –
it is a more general graph.
The package provides a set of tools to typeset genealogical trees (i.e., to typeset a set of special graphs for the description of family-like structures). The package uses an autolayout algorithm which can be customized, e.g., to prioritize certain paths.
