Anthropologists have been drawing genealogy diagrams / family trees since WHR Rivers developed the method while conducting anthropological research in the Solomon Islands circa 1848. The professional convention is to use triangles to represent males and circles to represent females. In most other aspects, genopro replicates the industry standard or is adaptable enough for use, in terms of documenting social groups or using genealogy charts to analyse social settings, families, epidemiological info, etc. There is NO genealogy/family tree program that allows us to input names, sex, etc. and print out a graphic rendering that shows males as triangles and females as circles (and unknown gender as a square, transgendered as a circle/triangle). Believe me, anthro's consistently ask each other "do you know of a program that creates kinship charts?" (and we collect & store a lot of genealogy-type data, in some cases for complete comunities over many generations. YOU would expand your consumer base exponentially if the user could *select* the figure to be used to represent sex/gender of the individual. That way all the current & past genopro fans who are used to using squares for males can carry on; all the new anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, etc. could set the program to use triangles for males and be happy happy happy. And we'd tell our students to use genopro and you would be happy happy happy too... Wink .
