Re: [Gramps-users] Family lines Graph - Graphviz

[Antonio L. <ant...@gm...>]

Stéphane,

Thank you a lot about your reply.

The fact is I cannot display a graph like yours in my GRAMPS, and I don't
know where you choose the "custom size":
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_3.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_5#Family_Lines_Graph

I played with minimal size and the rest of options but no result obtained.

My OS is Debian testing updated fifteen days ago, so it should work.

I'll do more test this evening at home.

Kind regards.
Antonio R. López
