The genomap displays '1801-1852' over the square symbol, and in the symbol it says '51' (Age at death, when I would like it to read '~1801-~1852' and '~51'.

This occurs when you have the Display menu setting on 'Year of Birth and Year of Death'. This may be a bug (it also occurs on 'Year of Birth and Year of Death + ID). If you have the Display menu set to any of the other date settings the ~ symbol is shown.

There is probably a lack of space to show the ~ within the gender symbol.

Sorry, I did not read your original posting properly. You are referring to the Genomap, not the svg copy in a report.

At present I think the answer lies in using a Custom Tag - of the sort generated by Ron's Utils. However in a recent posting he said these need to be updated because of the renaming of several GenoPro tags.

I have always been using the latest version, ususally within one or two days of it being released.

For example, I've just downloaded b20e. I create a new male, and set his birth to '~1801' and death to '~1852'.

The genomap displays '1801-1852' over the square symbol, and in the symbol it says '51' (Age at death, when I would like it to read '~1801-~1852' and '~51'.

Cheers,

John

Which version are you using? If you look at an earlier post on this topic you will see ~ on a GenoMap

I know this is nothing to do with reports, but I think it is relevant to the topic...

I do find it slightly annoying that when you use an approximate date with the '~' option, or if you use the '>' or '<' before a date, it is not shown on the genomap. It will ignore the approxiamtion and take the numeric value as an absolute.

Is there (or will there be) any way of having the approximations be displayed in the genomap?

Thanks,

John

Thanks for the sample. It had me foxed for a while. However the problem is a custom tag, birth.DATE.COMM, in your file. This seems to upset GenoPro's Report Generator methods for dates such that both Birth.Date.Approximation and Birth.Date.Year return ~~<date>. The work-around is to delete this custom tag. Use Table View / Individuals, then right click on column headed birth.DATE.COMM and select the 'X Delete custom tag birth.DATE.COMM' option. If you need to retain this information I suggest you rename the tag to say birth.DATE_COMM for example, using GenoPro's Tag Editor.

Thanks Ron.

I used this symbol "~" before 20d too. When I make a new file whit 20d and use the ~ the report is good. But if I use my original file which cointains ~ symbols the report looks like in the picture.

I used the original skin.

There is one of my files:

Why did the report generator that?

It does look a bit strange. Are you using a customised report skin? The standard skin only shows year of birth whereas your example has some full dates hence I assume a custom skin is being used. The repeated approximation symbol may be due to a problem with the Date.ToString method. However I cannot explain the doubling of dates. Can you give more details of your customisation?

I would suggest that the age not be calculated/printed if any date is an apoproximation.

I agree. I had missed this issue. I will tweak the report to exclude age at death if date of birth or death are approximated.

There is a problem with approximate dates where the exact birth date is known and the date of death is approximated.  As an example:

Date of Birth: 7 Mar 1779  Date of Death: >1826

The report prints "He died at the age of 47 after 1826." Obviously, there is no way of knowing how old he was when he died as the date of death is approximated.

I would suggest that the age not be calculated/printed if any date is an apoproximation.
