GenoPro Support Forum

When the function's behavior changes, the function name name is also changed.  This is by design.  It will happen until the official GenoPro 2.0 is released.  After Beta 16, some of the tags will be renamed to a more meaningful name.

Are there some limits to the size possible?

I think I have already stated my view on this. The more objects you have in each genomap the slower the rendering will be when viewing the SVG graphic. Panning and zooming will become virtually unuseable as you approach 1000 individuals per genomap. I suggest you aim for a maximum of 200 individuals per genomap. I find around 100 individuals to be a workable number.

Even if you prefer to keep all your individuals in one huge genomap for maintenance purposes, I still strongly recommend that you break this down into smaller genomaps for web publishing purposes if you want to include the SVG genomap feature. GenoPro makes this an extremely easy task to complete, just by selecting a branch of a tree and moving them to a new genomap. Hyperlinks make navigation of multiple genomaps a doddle. I organise my tree into genomaps that can be printed on 2 A4 pages. This is also suitable for web publishing. With careful naming of each genomap I find maintenance is simplified as I can easily select the genomap concerned.

I also create an overview genomap, using hyperlinked dummy individuals and social relationships allowing me to navigate around the separate genomaps with ease. e.g. in my overview genomap below each block represents a separate genomap and clicking on a hyperlink allows me to display the related detailed genomap. In the target genomap I change the display name to 'Return ot overview' providing an easy understood link back to the overview.

I am puzzled by this. Firstly I can find no reference to 'PointsArray' in the Beta 15b version of genomap.svg at all. Secondly, my understanding is that the design intention is that any language dependent features be confined preferably to Dictionary.xml or failing that, be coded within lang.vbs.

It would seem that you were using the Beta 15b version of genopro.exe but with a beta 15 derived version of genopro.svg which is not compatible due to changes in methods and functions as Dan has already explained. However it should have been possible to carry forward your German and Japanese versions of Dictionary.xml and lang.vbs largely unchanged into the templates of Beta 15b. If this was not the case could you please elaborate.

The size of the file genomap.svg shrunk by half because it was saved in Unicode.  I saved it in UTF-8 so I can use tools such as Windiff to compare the changes.  All editors can an UTF-8 file (even those not understanding Unicode) while a pure Unicode file can only be edited by Unicode aware editors.

Thanks again Ron,

I managed to get my head around multiple genograms which was simpler than I thought (as you had said!)

Now I must upload the new tree tomorrow ( my wallcharts are realy obsolete now so I might remove them next update! )
