Family Tree

Hovering a mouse over a person-box, or a green family-circle, will display brief details. A mouse click and a touch-screen tap are treated as synonymous operations. You can move the tree around by holding down on it and dragging it. The control in the bottom-right corner may be used to resize the content, although a mouse wheel will do the same.

A click on a thumbnail image will expand it into a different tab. Clicking on a person-box or family-circle will bring up its biographical notes. These can be moved (using their title bar) or stretched (using the bottom-right corner) if required. Each panel has its own close-box.

Each person-box will have one or more buttons in the corners. These provide different operations in conjunction with the control, shift, or alt keys. If there is no keyboard on your device then a double-tap (or double-click) on the button will display a menu of the available operations.

The "photo" button in the top-right of each person-box provides operations for the searchable image album.

• A click (or tap) on the button will select or deselect that person for associated image searching.
• A shift+click on the button will show the image search box. This can search by selected persons and place/event. The album itself is launched in a separate tab.
• A control+click on the button will clear any image highlight.
• An alt+click on the button will present the full image album, without search criteria.

The image album itself provides a fairly intuitive filmstrip interface, except that clicking on the current image will display any associated image notes, and clicking on the main title will show all available images in the filmstrip (i.e. bypassing any search criteria).

If the person-box has a "document" button in the top-left corner then it provides operations for the Compendia application, providing lists of links to articles, pages, scans, etc.

• A click on the button will select a reference, or provide a menu of there is more than one.
• A shift+click on the button will highlight all person-boxes sharing the same reference.
• A control+click on the button will clear reference highlight.
• An alt+click on the button will highlight all person-boxes having available references.

If the person-box has an "arrow" button in the bottom-left corner then it provides linked-tree operations.

• A click on the button will go to that same person in the other of these two trees (automatically launched in a separate tab). Their person box will be scrolled into view and highlighted.
• A control+click on the button will clear any associated highlight.
• An alt+click on the button will highlight all person-boxes with this button on them.
