Hi Jerome,

I just purchased the full, $8.99 version of your neat program and I have two questions for you.

First, how can I show the names of a person's brothers and sisters on the tree, instead of it just saying, for example, 3 brothers, 2 sisters?

Second, how can I show the tree vertically, i.e. top to bottom with the starting person at the top middle of the tree, as opposed to horizontally, i.e. left to right, as it is now?

Lastly, is there a way to display the total number of people in the tree, such as at the top next to the title?

Thanks,

Brody

This is not currently supported.I will consider adding this to a future
release.

> Second, how can I show the tree vertically

Drawing the text parallel, instead of perpendicular, to the time axis is
what allows to build printable charts for hundreds or thousands of
people, even when displaying the complete informations for each person.
I can't change this. Of course, you can change page orientation in the
page setup dialog, but this is probably not what you are asking for.

No; but you can "copy as text", paste it in a text editor that shows
line numbers or count the number of lines (e.g. BBEdit), then manually
edit the title (in the header and footer tab).
