<para>
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> is an acronym for the
|
|
Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System.
|
|
It was conceived under the concept that most genealogy programs
|
|
were designed to provide the researcher the capability to input
|
|
information related to a particular family tree. Most of these
|
|
programs have allowed for the arranging and storing of information
|
|
consistent with the GEDCOM standards. They usually provide a
|
|
means for displaying descendant or ancestral relationships by
|
|
means of graphical displays, charts, or reports. These may be
|
|
augmented with pictures or other media to enhance the data. Most
|
|
provide for inputting data on unconnected individuals/families
|
|
that may or may not have a relationship to the primary surname
|
|
being researched. Various other enhancements may also be provided
|
|
in the genealogical program that allows for different degrees of
|
|
importing and exporting data from other programs and printing of
|
|
the data contained in the various reports. GRAMPS, on the other
|
|
hand, attempts to provide all of the common capabilities of these
|
|
programs, but, more importantly, to provide a capability not
|
|
common to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits
|
|
and pieces of information directly into GRAMPS and
|
|
rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base
|
|
(in any order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research,
|
|
analysis and correlation with the potential of filling
|
|
relationship gaps. In short, a tool that provides a way to input
|
|
all your research into one place and do your analysis and
|
|
correlation using the speed, power, and accuracy of your computer
|
|
instead of pencils and unmanageable reams of paper.

There are up to three parts to a filter. The first part is the

selection of the filter to be applied. A filter is selected from

the option menu directly above the People View. The second part
|

is an optional argument. This qualifier provides more specific
|

information for the filter. Many filters do not require the

|
argument, and it will not be displayed if it is not needed. If

the argument is required, a text box with a descriptive label

Four columns are shown in the People View display. The entries

Date, or Death Date. Clicking on the column label will cause

the list to be re-sorted by that column. Arrows on the label

order.

If the list is already sorted by a particular column, clicking

<application>GRAMPS</application> provides a central repository
|
|
for all media objects in the Media View. This allows the same
|
|
media object to appear in multiple galleries. Adding a media
|
|
object to a gallery actually adds the object to the Media View,
|
|
and makes a local reference in the gallery.
|

</para>
|
|
<para>
|

While each media object can have a note and attributes attached
|
|
to it, each gallery can add its own notes and attributes to the
|
|
reference in its gallery. This allows media objects to have
|
|
global and local properties. For example, a photo of a family
|
|
reunion may have many people in it. A global note may describe
|
|
the picture in general, identifying the place and date. When
|
|
this object is added to a gallery, you can attach a note to the
|
|
reference in the gallery adding some specific information, such
|
|
as "Aunt Martha is the third person from the right in the
|
|
second row". Clicking the <guibutton>Edit
|
|
Properties</guibutton> allows you to edit the local properties.

the default at any time by selecting the thumbnail image and

the <guibutton>Add Media Object</guibutton> button, a dialog box
|

is presented which allows you to choose an object from the file
|
|
system. This method adds a new object to the Media View and
|
|
creates a reference in the gallery. Objects may also be added
|
|
by either dragging and dropping from one gallery to another, or
|
|
by dragging from the Media View to a gallery. In this case, a
|
|
new media object is not created, but a reference to an existing
|
|
media object is made in the gallery, sharing the same media
|
|
object between galleries. Finally, new objects may be added to a
|
|
gallery and the Media View by dragging and dropping from a file
|
|
manager (such as <application>Nautilus</application> or
|
|
<application>Konqueror</application>) or a web browser (such as

<application>Galeon</application>,

The Media View window displays the files associated with the
|
|
database. Typically, these files are images, but
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> allows you to attach any type of
|
|
file to the database. <application>GRAMPS</application> refers to
|
|
attached files as media objects. You can access the Media View at
|
|
any time by either pressing the <guibutton>Media</guibutton>
|
|
button at the top of the screen, or by choosing the
|
|
<menuchoice>

<title>Media Objects</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Media objects can be either local or external to a
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> database. If
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> is told to import an object as
|
|
a local object, it will make its own copy of the file in the
|
|
database directory. If the object is not imported as a local
|
|
object, the original file is used.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods. If the
|
|
object is local, then if the original file is moved or deleted,
|
|
then <application>GRAMPS</application> will still have its own
|
|
copy. However, this is at the price of having two copies of the
|
|
file. If the file is not imported as a local object, then a copy
|
|
is not made, saving disk space. However, altering or deleting
|
|
the original copy will affect the
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> database.

|
<title>Adding a Media Object</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Media objects can be imported in several ways. Adding an object
|
|
to any gallery adds the object to the Media View. The gallery is
|
|
will actually contain a reference to the object in the Media
|
|
View.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Objects may also be added using the <guibutton>Add Media
|
|
Object</guibutton> button. This will add the object to the Media
|
|
View, but not to any gallery. When you select the file to be
|
|
added, a preview will be displayed in the preview window. If the
|
|
file is an image, the image will be displayed. Otherwise, an
|
|
icon representing the file type will be displayed. In the dialog
|
|
box, you may choose to either import the object as a local
|
|
object, or leave it as an external object.

|

<para>
|
|
Finally, you may drag-and-drop an object from either a file
|
|
manager or a web browser. If the object is dropped into a
|
|
gallery, then a reference is made in the gallery, and the object
|
|
appears in the Media View. If the object is dropped directly
|
|
into the Media View, then it appears in the Media View, but will
|
|
not appear in a gallery. Currently, all objects imported via
|
|
drag-and-drop are imported as external (not local) objects.

<title>Making a Reference to a Media Object</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once an object is in the Media View, it is possible to make a
|
|
reference to it in any gallery. You may place the object in as
|
|
many galleries as you like, and only one copy of the file will
|
|
exist.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To make a reference to a media object in a gallery, you may
|
|
simply drag-and-drop the object from the Media View directly to
|
|
a gallery. The object will then appear in the
|
|
gallery. Similarly, you may drag-and-drop from one gallery to
|
|
another gallery, and a new object reference is created in the
|
|
target gallery.

|
|
<title>Changing a Media Object's Properties</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Media objects have global and local properties. The title of the
|
|
object is a global property. It may only be changed from the
|
|
Media View, and it will affect all references. An object also
|
|
has a global note and a set of user defined global attributes.
|
|
A reference in a gallery may a have a local note and local
|
|
attributes as well. All references share the global properties,
|
|
but each gallery has its own set of notes a attributes.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The global note can be used to provide a general
|
|
description. For example, in a family reunion image, you may
|
|
wish to use the global note to indicate the place, date, and
|
|
occasion of the photograph. In a local note in Aunt Martha's
|
|
gallery, you may wish to add a local note indicating that
|
|
"Aunt Martha is the third person from the right in the
|
|
second row".
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The global properties may be changed by selecting the
|
|
<guibutton>Edit Media Object</guibutton> button.

Revision control allows you to keep a history of the changes that

you have made to your database. Instead of needing to keep

Many of the reports that <application>GRAMPS</application>

produces can be generated in different file formats and
|
|
different paper sizes. Selecting a <guilabel>Preferred Output
|
|
Format</guilabel> and a <guilabel>Preferred Output
|
|
Format</guilabel> tells the report generator your
|
|
preferences. It should be noted that a report generator might

not support all possible formats.

<title>Generating Reports</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> can produce a wide variety of
|
|
reports. A new report generator can be written by the user without
|
|
modifying the main program. For this reason, there may be more
|
|
reports available than are documented by this manual.

<para>
|
|
Unlike many genealogy programs, <application>GRAMPS</application>
|
|
does not directly print reports. Instead,
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> produces reports in formats that
|
|
are understood by other programs. These formats include
|
|
OpenOffice, AbiWord, PDF, and HTML, among others. This allows the
|
|
generated reports to be modified after they are generated, stored
|
|
for use at a later time, or e-mailed to another person.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
After selecting the report you would like generated there are
|
|
options you must select. In the Save As option specify your file
|
|
name (use /full path/filename to specify a different directory
|
|
than in your Default Report Directory preference in the
|
|
preferences). The next step is to select the Report Format.
|
|
After choosing the Format you can select the style you would like
|
|
to use for your report (this does not apply to the HTML format).
|
|
You can Add/Edit/Delete a style for that particular report by
|
|
clicking the <guibutton>Style Editor</guibutton> button.
|
|
Selecting one of those options you can then change the font (font
|
|
face, size, color, and options) for each Paragraph Style along
|
|
with the Paragraph Options (Alignment, background color, margins,
|
|
and borders). Once you are satisfied with the style you are ready
|
|
to proceed with the generation of your report. The next step is
|
|
to choose the options (if any for that specific report) and then
|
|
Choose the Template (for HTML format only) and click OK. Your
|
|
report will now be in default report directory (unless otherwise
|
|
specified).

|
<title>Using HTML templates</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Many programs exist to convert GEDCOM files into HTML files that
|
|
can be viewed in a web browser. Most of these programs generate
|
|
HTML files according to their own predefined style. Since most
|
|
people have a style that they prefer, they are left with the
|
|
option of modifying hundreds of files by hand.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To solve this problem, <application>GRAMPS</application> allows
|
|
the user to specify a template to be used for generating HTML
|
|
files. At the time the report is generated, if HTML is selected
|
|
as the target format, the user can select an HTML template to be
|
|
used. Since the template is chosen at report generation time, a
|
|
different template may be chosen each time, allowing the user to
|
|
change the appearance of the generated files at any time.
|
|
Nearly any existing HTML file can be used as an HTML template
|
|
for <application>GRAMPS</application>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When a file has been established as the HTML template file,
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> uses the template for each
|
|
file that it generates. <application>GRAMPS</application> starts
|
|
each file by copying data from the template until it reaches the
|
|
HTML comment, which it uses as a marker. At that point,
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> inserts its data into the
|
|
output file. <application>GRAMPS</application> the continues
|
|
reading the until it reaches a second comment that tells it to
|
|
resume copying from the template.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<application>GRAMPS</application> uses the string
|
|
<function><!-- START --></function> to indicate where it
|
|
should start inserting its information, and the string
|
|
<function><!-- STOP --></function> to indicate where it
|
|
should resume copying data from the template. The effect is
|
|
that <application>GRAMPS</application> will create a new
|
|
document, replacing everything between the <function><!--
|
|
START --></function> and <function><!-- STOP
|
|
--></function> comments with the report information.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The comment markers should be at the beginning of a line in the
|
|
HTML template file. Adding the comments to an existing HTML
|
|
document will not affect the original HTML document in any way.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If no HTML template is specified, or if the specified template
|
|
cannot be read, <application>GRAMPS</application> will use a
|
|
default, predefined template.
