pedigree 1.0.0

Store family trees in plain text and visualize them in your browser

pedigree takes a [toml][] file like that in examples/example.toml ([source][]) and outputs a few messy visualizations that do not favor patriliny over matriliny. See examples/ for example output.


Example:

For a quick example, generate the example .toml file

pedigree -f new_relations.toml

then generate output based on it

pedigree -f new_relations.toml generate

Outputs:

• .html file: a [d3][] visualization that can be opened in a web browser

• SVG broken for now - .svg file: a “Sugiyama style” tree that can be opened in a web browser - .dot file: the [dot][] file used to generate the .svg file

Installation:

pip3 install pedigree

pedigree –help will tell you your options.

Caveats:

• Don’t put all your genealogical data in one text file that you manipulate via a python script written by some idiot on the internet. At least make copies of the one text file.

• This can only recognize the relations x is the mother of y, x is the father of y, and x is the spouse of y. It has no concept of siblings or partial siblings.
