<para>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

switching between the Views.</para>

<para>When &app; opens a database, the

filter is set to the trivial filter called <guilabel>All

people</guilabel>, i.e. no filtering is in effect. To choose a

filter, use the pop-up <guilabel>Filter</guilabel> menu above the
|
|
people's list. Once the filter is chosen, click the
|
|
<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button in the upper right corner of the
|
|
window. The filtering will take effect upon clicking the
|
|
<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button. To invert the filtering rule,
|

check the <guilabel>Invert</guilabel> box on the left
|
|
of <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button. </para>

the visibility of the filter controls is not related to the actual
|
|
filtering imposed on the list. This may be a cause of confusion, when

you enable the filtering and then remove the controls from the

display. If in doubt, enable the display of filter controls by
|
|
checking <menuchoice> <guimenu>View</guimenu>

person already existing in the database to the new relationship.

right of the spouse box. Note that removing a spouse from the

<para>The parents of both the Active person and the Current spouse

the window (Active person's parents on top, Current spouse parents

|
|
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

etc.) 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

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 become highlighted to indicate

an active link: double-clicking on the line makes the corresponding

<para>The Sources View lists the sources of information stored in the
|
|
database. This can include various documents (birth, death, and
|
|
marriage certificates, etc.), books, films, journals, private diaries,
|
|
i.e. virtually anything that can be classified as a source of
|
|
information. The sources can be used as a reference for any event
|
|
stored in the database. The Source View lists the
|
|
<guilabel>Title</guilabel>, <guilabel>ID</guilabel>, and the
|
|
<guilabel>Author</guilabel> of the source. Any column can be
|
|
used for sorting the list. The usual rules apply: one click for
|
|
ascending order, another click for descending order.</para>

<para>The Media View is a list of Media Objects used in the database.
|
|
Media Objects are any files that relate somehow to the stored
|
|
genealogical data. Technically, any file can be stored as a Media
|
|
Object. Most frequently, these are images, audio files, animation
|
|
files, etc. The list box on the bottom lists the Name, ID, Type, and
|
|
Path to the Media Object. The top part of the GRAMPS window shows
|
|
a preview (if available) and information about the Media
|
|
Object. </para>
