GenoPro Support Forum

It provides a reasonable facsimile for each GenoMap that can be panned and zoomed. Internal hyperlinks are also implemented allowing navigation from one genogram to another. Clicking on a individual's gender icon on the genogram causes the detail frame above to show that individual's details. Similarly clicking on the tree icon next to the individual's name in the detail frame causes the genogram containing that individual to be displayed. The same comments apply to families. The genomap can be hidden from view when required. You can also place background images and photos on hte map as seen in the sample above. I've tested it on my main Geno Pro file with 45 GenoMaps, ~2700 Individuals & ~700 families without problems. Click on the info icon or the 'Help' hyperlink to see how to pan and zoom the graphic.

This is still work in progress and improvements will be made post Beta 15. I.e. the initial display will be zoomed to show the complete genogram. Also borders around individuals will be implemented correctly. Currently the border is a fixed size but will match the GenoMap borders at a later date. I'll also have a go at displaying emotional relationships where present but that looks tricky. Also performance will be improved if the SVG files are compressed (gzipped).

It requires an SVG viewer plug-in to be present with your browser. The best at present is Adobe's SVG viewer Beta version 6.0. This works with MS IE and Mozilla Firefox but the roll-over animations are not supported in the latter. Mozilla Firefox Beta 1.5 has a built-in SVG viewer but feature support is poor at present. If you use Adobe SVG Viewer 3.x then text in labels will be missing, however there is a version of this SVG Viewer for MAC OS X, allowing MAC users with IE browser to see much of your genomaps (not sure if it works with Safari browser)

If an Adobe SVG Viewer is not installed the Javascript code prompts the user to install it and will display Adobe's Beta SVG Viewer install page.

There are a few extra files required and changes to several existing template files so I have attached a zipped version of the complete report template for those of you who want to try it.
