Dan, this View menu become longer and longer. What if a new submenu (similar to Medical pedigree) will be generated for the Layout menu items (14 items)? I am aware the View menu is getting long. Soon, I will create another menu named Table Layout, to make the View shorter.

Do you have some documentation regarding genealogy diagrams for anthropologists? I am thinking of adding this option in the preferences dialog for version 2.0.0.3.

all human and social sciences use square for males. ...I beg to differ! Anthropology is a human social science.... There is good reason (mnemonic) for using triangles for men & circles for women: It replicates the most ancient symbols that recurr cross-culturally and across human history for male (pointy bit) and female (round bit). The addoption of squares and circles happened b/c... It's interresting, thanks Leslie !

One solution I am thinking is adding options in preferences dialog to draw the genograms differently. For instance, medical pedigrees are displayed slightly differentlly than normal genograms. Another option would be having GenoPro draw genograms for Anthropologists by displaying the male as a triangle instead of a square.
This would work. I do like the option of marking social networks on a kinship chart --the potential for depth of visual information (emotional relations and medical diagnoses on village wide genealogy charts can be quite useful, for example, in tracking HIV or chlamydia or other std infections and their ramifications in small communities -- which many anthropologists are doing. So if you were to make a Preference option for varieties of charts, I'd ask that each option not preclude information from the other categories of info. In other words, keep the power of genopro -- it's flexibility and representative depth.
Aloha

The addoption of squares and circles happened b/c of what was available on the standard typewriter. No reason to perpetuate that form of technical limitation in the computer age. Also, no need to use a tool like a software application to try to force one professional &/or academic discipline to change their patterns of practice. Adding an option under Preferences, as our venerable developer has suggested would be the best solution.

Just an idea...there might be some predefined settings for i.e. medical, anthropological use, and maybe a place for up to some level predefined customizable view based on chosen predefined type... with options to change default values settings i.e. for relationships... relationship type, line colour and distances among partners...
