The ecomap is a graphical view of social networks related to an individual or family such as work, school, church, and so on. An ecogram combines an ecomap and a genogram.
Does GenoPro support the generation of these graphical tools as well as genograms?
Also, is there an API so that my application could "send" relationship data to GenoPro to automatically create the intended diagram/graph?

GenoPro has limited support for ecomaps. You may include the social entities, however GenoPro does not understand the relationships between them. GenoPro simply draws boxes and arrows without any meaning. We get a lot of requests for ecomaps, however we have little documentation how to implement them. Do you have such spec document for your ecomaps and ecograms?
GenoPro has a basic API where you may feed an XML string (or file) to GenoPro and it will draw it. Then you may use SavePictureOfGenoMap() or CopyPictureOfGenoMapToClipboard() to get the drawing. At the moment, GenoPro is a standalone .exe application. Ideally, for your needs, GenoPro needs to be bundled into a DLL so the program GenoPro can be hosted in the same address space as your application. In 2011, we plan to slowly migrate away from the MFC framework, and this could be our opportunity to produce two applications: GenoPro.exe (for normal users) and GenoPro.dll (for developers).
