These possibilities as well as the differences between a Diagram and a Chart are explained fully at Working Diagrams and Charts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Diagrams and charts are displayed in the The Diagram Window<\/a>.<\/p>\n All Diagrams have a root. This is the person from which the diagram “spreads out”, so in the following Ancestor Diagram the root is Ian Robert Peabody as it his ancestors who are shown. In addition in the Diagram Options<\/a>, the root box is shown in a different colour from other boxes.<\/p>\n All diagrams can alternatively be centred on a couple rather than a single person. This is done by selecting two people who must be the spouses within a Family Record\u00a0 as explained by how to View Both Spouses\u2019 Ancestors.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n \u0192h<\/span><\/span> provides a number of core diagram types:<\/p>\n In addition there are some pre-configured Standard diagrams based on one of the core types.<\/p>\n You can use any of these core and standard diagram types ‘out of the box’ or you can configure them via the Diagram Options Dialog<\/a> to have the appearance and content that meets your needs. If you’ve tailored them, you can save them for reuse with the same settings as a Custom Diagram Type using Diagram > Save Diagram As… > Custom Diagram Type<\/a> and use them again (or delete them) from View > Custom Diagram Types<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n One of Family\u00a0Historian’s unique features is the ability to draw a tree interactively.<\/p>\n The following actions will work:<\/p>\n \u0192h<\/span><\/span> stores the settings associated with the core diagram types in the Windows registry, so backing them up is not simple. You should follow the advice at Family Historian Copy and Migration Guide<\/a> to back them up (and restore them in case of a PC failure) or if installing \u0192h<\/span><\/span> on a new PC.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","fh_version":[13,14,15],"skill_level":[18,17,16],"topic":[62],"class_list":["post-11253","kb_article","type-kb_article","status-publish","hentry","fh_version-v4","fh_version-v5","fh_version-v6","skill_level-advanced","skill_level-intermediate","skill_level-newcomer","topic-diagrams-and-charts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhug.org.uk\/kb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb_article\/11253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhug.org.uk\/kb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kb_article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhug.org.uk\/kb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kb_article"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fhug.org.uk\/kb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"fh_version","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhug.org.uk\/kb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fh_version?post=11253"},{"taxonomy":"skill_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhug.org.uk\/kb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/skill_level?post=11253"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fhug.org.uk\/kb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Diagram Window<\/h2>\n
