#1401 4.1b6: Lifespan chart prints 2 persons on same line

[Gerry Kroll]

This problem is not new with Beta6. It's been around for a while.

The Lifespan chart will print more than one person on the same line when there's room. This is not good, since it can lead to a confusing chart that doesn't clearly show the relationship between the lifespans of various people.

For example:
My father died in 1979, and my son was born in 1981. These two individuals will print on the same line.
One of my half-sisters was born and died in 1947, and the other half-sister was born in 1948. These two individuals will print on the same line.

I believe that each individual shown on the chart should get his or her own line.

You can see this on my site (on a different root person than me)

I like them on the same line because it provides a more compact chart. The chart was specifically designed to be that way.

But maybe we can add an option like on the relationship chart.
