I am trying to make a legend on my genogram with a symbol plus a written description of what the symbol means.  I´ve created a large text box with lots of symbols inside, but the problem is I can´t write text where I want to which should be next to each symbol.  When you write in the text box and have symbols too, everything gets displaced and moved around.  Is there a way to include written text on the genogram anywhere I want it?  How do I access this feature?

Thanks!

Right-click anywhere on your family tree and you will get this menu.

For instance, the default legend for the genogram symbols does appear as follows.  You can then customize the legend and/or remove unwanted symbols.

Yes indeed.  All the toolbar buttons have been redone and the menus are using those icons.  It looks very good.

Can't wait to see the new look...

I have a problem though. The legend is on my Individual list. Those legend need to be treated as objects "out of the family tree" and not part of it. You can find "First Name: Abortion" in my tree...

Is there a way to separate those objects from the list of Individuals?

Those individuals are excluded from the report, however will appear in the Table Layout.  Until GenoPro offers a genuine legend object, those legend symbol objects will behave as regular individuals.

Why not show this legend as picture or somthing similar?

The legend must be vector-based because of the zoom.  Besides, a user may wish to customize the legend by removing unwanted/unused symbols.

Don't get me wrong. I think that this legend is great and it is a must and customizing it, is good option. However, I think that a solution should be found. For example: if I want to know how many people are in my tree I'm going to the Individual - table layout to see it. Now that there are more objects which are not related - this number is wrong. I then need to know how many objects are not a part of my tree and then calculate the correct number.

There is or there should be?

What if I have such individual(s) on my tree also?

There is or there should be?

Should be.  This is a feature for the future.  GenoPro 2.0 is running late behind schedule.

Don't worry. You have a great software. Although we are talking about Beta versions - GenoPro is a great thing and it is improving with each Beta. So the release of v2.0 won't be on January. Each delay is because of all the abilities GenoPro gets. The final product will be great. Whenever it is released.
