Project description
familytreemaker
This program creates family tree graphs from simple text files.
The input file format is very simple, you describe persons of your family line
by line, children just have to follow parents in the file. Persons can be
repeated as long as they keep the same name or id. An example is given in the
file LouisXIVfamily.txt
.
Note: This branch version is optimized for chinese. If other language for input text file is used, command option gender (-g) has to be used to specify words of male and female, since their default values are set as "男" and "女" instead of origin "M" and "F".
Installation
Simply clone the repo.
This script outputs a graph descriptor in DOT format. To make the image containing the graph, you will need a graph drawer such as [GraphViz] 1.
