I am trying HyperGraph in my genealogy program, GDBI: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdbi/ I started a thread on it here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1378352&forum_id=102504

  Can you control the length of the edges? I need to shorten them in the graph I am creating in GDBI.
  
  Instead of having family nodes that link to everyone in the family, I have a marriage node and a children node. I am not sure if this ASCII art will show up right, but I make it like this:
  
  fath moth
  0   0
     \ /
      O
      |
      O
     /|\
  0 0 0
  c1 c2 c3
  
  It seems like that is the closest I can get to the traditional family tree diagrams like this:
  
  f   m
  O-+-O
  |
  +-+-+
  O O O
  1 2 3
  
  The problem is that every family takes up a lot of space because of the extra edge in the middle. Can I make them smaller? I dont suppose I can make them come out at right angles like the 2nd diagram, can I?
