The Active person's data is in the list box in the upper
left corner of the window. Directly below it, another box
lists the Spouse's data, for each relationship of Active
person (can be more than one). The double-arrow button to
the right of the Active person list box allows you to
exchange the currently selected spouse (Current spouse) with
the Active person. Double-clicking on the Active person
allows the editing of Active person's data. Double-clicking
on the Current spouse allows you to edit their relationship
information. Shift-clicking on the Current spouse allows the
editing of the Current spouse's data.

To add a new relationship, use one of the two upper buttons
to the right of the spouse box. Click the top one to add a
new person to a database and to the new relationship. Click
the middle one to add a person already existing in the
database to the new relationship. To remove Current spouse,
click the lowest button (<guibutton>-</guibutton>) to the
right of the spouse box. Note that removing a spouse from
the relationship does not remove the person from the
database. Most of these functions are also available by
right-clicking into the spouse box and selecting an
appropriate item from the context menu.

The parents of both the Active person and the Current spouse
are listed in the corresponding list boxes in the right-hand
part of the window (Active person's parents on top, Current
spouse parents on the bottom). Both list boxes have a set of
three buttons on their right side. The
<guibutton>+</guibutton> and <guibutton>-</guibutton>
buttons allow you to add and remove parents of the Active
person and the Current spouse, respectively. Clicking the
right arrow button makes the family in the corresponding
list box an active family. That is, it makes the selected
Father the Active person, and the selected Mother the
Current spouse. Most of these functions are also available
by right-clicking into the parent box and selecting an
appropriate item from the context menu.
</para>
<para>
The bottom list box displays children of the Active person
and the Current Spouse. The Children's list can be ordered
by the Birth date in the usual way of clicking on the
<guilabel>Birth date</guilabel> column header. In addition
to the <guilabel>Name</guilabel>, <guilabel>ID</guilabel>,
<guilabel>Gender</guilabel>, and <guilabel>Birth
date</guilabel> columns, the list includes a
<guilabel>Status</guilabel> column. The pair of status words
reflect the relationship between the child and his
Father/Mother (such as Birth, Adoption,
etc.). <guilabel>Column Editor Dialog</guilabel> can be used
to change column arrangement. Four buttons are available on
the right side of the children list box. The top (left
arrow) button makes the selected child the Active
person. The next two buttons add a new child to the family:
the upper one adds a new person to the database and to the
family, the lower one just adds a person existing in the
database to the family. Finally, the lowest
<guibutton>-</guibutton> button removes the selected child
from the family. Note that removing a child from the family
does not remove the person from the database. Most of these
functions are also available by right-clicking into the
children box and selecting an appropriate item from the
context menu.

<title>Pedigree View</title>

The Pedigree View displays a family tree of the Active
person's ancestors. The Pedigree View shows up to five
generations, depending the size of the window. Each person is
indicated by a box labeled with his or her name. Two lines
branch from each box. The top one shows the person's father
and the bottom one the mother. Solid lines represent birth
relations, while dashed lines represent non-birth relations
such as adoption, step-parenthood, guardianship, etc.

shows four generations, going back in time from the Active
person <guilabel>1</guilabel> to his/her parents

<guilabel>3</guilabel>, to great-grandparents
<guilabel>4</guilabel>. Each person is denoted by a box
bearing the person's name. The two lines that converge on
the box represent ties with the person's Father (top line)
and mother (bottom line). Solid lines represent birth
relations, while dashed lines represent non-birth relations
(such as adoption, step-parenthood, guardianship, etc.).
When the mouse moves over the white box, it expands to
display the corresponding person's dates of birth and
death. When the mouse is placed over the family line, the
line becomes highlighted to indicate an active link:
double-clicking on the line makes the corresponding ancestor
the Active person. The display in that case is re-adjusted
to show four generations, starting from the newly selected
Active person.
If you move your mouse over a box, it expands to show birth

serves to differentiate the "dead ends" of the tree from the
continuing branches as follows. The children who have
children appear in the menu in the boldface and italic

appear in a regular font. If the Active person has a single

An additional advanced scheme of labeling generations exists
in Pedigree View. It becomes available by setting the anchor
on some active person. If the anchor is set, the generations
are labeled as follows. The anchor person (and his/her
generation) is labeled as <guilabel>0</guilabel>. The
ancestor generations are numbered with positive integers
(<guilabel>1</guilabel>, <guilabel>2</guilabel>,
<guilabel>3</guilabel>, etc.) while the descendant
generations are numbered with negative integers
(<guilabel>-1</guilabel>, <guilabel>-2</guilabel>,
<guilabel>-3</guilabel>, etc.). In all cases, the number
represents the number of generations between the labeled
generation and the anchor person. In this mode, you can
travel along the extensive pedigree line and see the number
of generations counting from the anchor person.
Pedigree View gives you an additional, advanced way of

To set the anchor, select the <guilabel>Set

menu, when the desired person is the Active person in the
Pedigree View. The labels will change immediately, and the
name of the anchor person will appear at the lower left
corner of the display area. The set anchor person will stay
in effect until either the anchor is removed (by selecting
the <guilabel>Remove anchor</guilabel> item from the context
menu), or until the active person chosen is unrelated to the
anchor person. The latter move can be made using extensive
navigation tools available in &app;, see <xref
linkend="gramps-nav"/> for the detailed reference.

To set the anchor, select the person you want as the Active
person (recall that you can do so in the Pedigree View by
clicking the line that leads to the person from his or her
child). Then, while in Pedigree View, right click anywhere in
the main window. A context menu will appear. Select
<guilabel>Set anchor</guilabel> and you will see the Active
person's indicated as the anchor in the lower left corner.
This newly established Anchor Person will remain in effect
until you right-click again and select <guilabel>Remove
anchor</guilabel> from the context menu or until a new Active
person is chosen who is unrelated to the Anchor Person.
