That looks like a snippet from FTM, who have provided an All-in-One Tree in their software for many years now. It is quite useful for family get-togethers…you tidy it up a bit to keep it less than 36 inches wide, output a .pdf and take it to your local print shop. They will charge you by the yard/metre, We did one, 6m long, was not expensive. As it was probably going to be out of date by the end of the afternoon, we glued it to some board, encouraged people to write on it. We reaped all sorts of info…
Go out and buy an old copy of FTM. You will probably get one for a song.
A bit late now for PGV.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I can't see enough details of your example to tell exactly what you're after, but the Hourglass chart in PGV may help you.
You can set options to include spouses, set the number of generations, etc. Then run the chart, then select printer-friendly version (the link to this is at the very bottom of the page). On Firefox (maybe other browsers too) you can print-to-file, select pdf output. You'll get a nice PDF output.
Unfortunately there appear to be a couple of things on this chart that make the result fall short of perfection:
- the "data loading" box never closes on the "Printer Friendly" version (can someone confirm this on another installation?)
- the header box on the "Printer Friendly" version contains too much info and crowds the top of the actual chart. One possibility is to provide an editable title in the setup and just print this with the chart in the "Printer Friendly" version (this should be possible with CSS).
- spouse's box is slightly reduced in size, but the formatting of the details is not adjusted. This can be worked around by adjusting the box width parameter (125% worked for me).
These items may be fairly easy to fix. If there's interest I think someone may work on a patch.

Has anyone done a plugin or addon that lets me see and all in one tree?
I want to see all siblings and all children, not just a pedigree chart.
Like this:
Everything in one tree is not practical. Some users have more than 50,000 people in their tree!!!!
There is an off-line product ("genopro") that tries to do it - but you should see how messy it is, even for a relatively small 4-5,000 people.
The closest is this new add-on for PGV, it does allow some inclusion of siblings:

Some discussion about it here:

myheritage.com and geni.com do a halfway version of this, athough they use flash…
is that addon included in the latest svn?
<<is that addon included in the latest svn? >>
No, and it doesn't need to be. Just download the and install it.
