Although this approach does require a person entry for a child, I have produced a graph report showing all the ancestors for my wife's and my trees, but not including either of our children, by: * Setting up a filter * giving it the first rule "Ancestors of <myself> * giving it the second rule "Ancestors of <my wife> * giving it a third rule "Ancestors of <my daughter> * setting the Options to "At least one rule must apply and using that filter in Reports-Graphs-Relationship Graph: that seems to work. At the RHS (because I am running it as a horizontal graph, left to right) it terminates with my name and my wife's name and an ellipse for our wedding event, but nothing beyond that, i.e. no children. So for a forthcoming marriage with no children one would need to set up the forthcoming wedding as an event but without the date, and a dummy child but this dummy child would not show in the output. If your trees are anything like mine then you would need to run it through Peter Hewitt/Maurice Snell GrampsCrossing0.4.py to get rid of most of the crossing edges. I should add that when I set the filter with just the first two rules, i.e. Ancestor of myself and Ancestor of my wife then I got a graph with both family trees but not aligned, and not showing myself or my wife, though I guess by adding a couple more rules then I could have included ourselves. But the graph would not be neatly aligned with the two of us together because Gramps would not know that the two of were together. Hope I'm on the right track and this is of interest. regards Chris On 26/08/14 23:25, Marie Alhomme wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > > I'm VERY new to the genealogy world, and I have a (hopefully) quick > question about gramps/trees... > > Basically, I have an uncle who's really into genealogy (but he > (self-admitedly) sucks at computers), and for our wedding ceremony, he > exported me a .ged file with a tree for my family and a tree for my > husband's, both in the same .ged file. > Since we plan on printing the thing on a 3x2m tarp on a frame for the > event and his own software (geneatique?) apparently can't export > anything vector based, or anything above A1 size, he sent it to me so > that we could output a vector file with our own styles, etc., with Gramps. > > BUT I can't for the file of me figure out how to output ONE tree for > the both of us (since we're married) without creating a fictional > child...? > My uncle had the same problem in his software, but a friend told me > Gramps could solve that for us... but no dice yet. > > Apart from exporting both trees separately and then joining them (ie. > in Illustrator), is there something I'm missing? > > > Thanks a lot for your attention and help! > > > Cheers, > Marie and Loic > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Slashdot TV. > Video for Nerds.
