Descendant and ancestral trees may be imported direct from Kith and Kin tree files or from PAF GEDCOM files created by other genealogy programs. TreeDraw converts these trees into easily edited picture elements which can then be re-formatted and re-arranged before storing and printing. It is now easy to produce perfectly laid out charts and incorporate pictures diagrams and other simple graphics. The charts may be as complex or as simple as you wish. By importing a combination of descendant and ancestral trees from one or more tree files, it is possible to build complex charts which can extend in any direction. TreeDraw maintains a link between each chart text element and the source field in the original tree file. This means that you can update each text element automatically to mirror any changes in the original file. The tree link for each text element can also be modified manually. This is a powerful feature which gives you control over the content and format of the text in the chart. Additional text elements may be entered manually to provide titles, headings, comments, etc. As well as text, you can place into the chart simple graphics (lines, boxes, circles) and OLE objects like pictures, clip-art, diagrams, etc. TreeDraw lets you control the size, shape, style, colour and alignment of all chart elements and supports colour printing.
