Views are the various ways to display different aspects of
|
||||||
|
genealogical information, as described below. Since the relevant
|
||||||
|
information is very broad and non-uniform in both context and
|
||||||
|
modality, it is best to split its display into smaller
|
||||||
|
categories, uniform in context and modality. Each View
|
||||||
|
represents such a split and displays a certain portion of
|
||||||
|
overall available information. Before the detailed description

|
of available Views, let us guide you through the ways of

switching between the Views.

<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

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

|
|

|
|
||||||
<para>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.</para>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<para>The layout of the Family View can be switched from the
|
|
||||||
left-to-right arrangement (shown above) to the top-to-bottom
|
|
||||||
arrangement (shown below). This can be done in the
|
|
||||||
<guilabel>Display</guilabel> section of the
|
|
||||||
<guilabel>Preferences</guilabel> dialog. The top-to-bottom view
|
|
||||||
has the same functionality as the left-to-right view. </para>
