[Gramps-users] descendant report

[Graham S. <gr...@th...>]

Hi

I'm new to Gramps. I'm trying to use it to help make a version of a
manuscript my dad left about our family history. It's mainly organized
by village, with a short history of the family in each of a small group
of villages. I'm doing the text in latex. Each section has a chart with
it, like the descendant reports in gramps, with the first known person
with the family name in the village at the top, going down to the last
known person (in the end the family all died out or moved away from the
area..).  I'd like to create report in gramps as close as possible to
the manuscript version, but don't know how to get the format. I want:

- top to bottom, not left to right
- marriages shown with an 'equals' sign between partners (successive
partners on same row)
- descendance shown by a tree (rightangles, not curves)
- output I can include in latex (eps?)

The gramps manual says you can generate reports in almost any format
with a bit of scripting, but I haven't found any examples to start from.
Any pointers?

Thanks
Graham
