Introducing Charting
Companion
Family Historian offers extensive charting
features and options, but you can extend the range
of charts available to you even further by
installing Charting Companion. The
program, written by Progeny Genealogy, features a
number of charts that are not currently provided
by Family Historian, such as a Fractal Tree,
Dandelion Chart, Descendant Fan Chart, and Trellis
Chart. It even supports Embroidery charts
and 3D Printing.
Charting Companion installs as a companion
product for Family Historian and displays charts
using the data already contained in your Family
Historian projects. The installation automatically
adds a Family Historian plugin (that is, add-on
feature) which means that you can run it directly
from within Family Historian. To do so, click
Plugins on the Tools menu,
select Charting Companion in the list, and click Run.
To make it even easier to access, you can add
Charting Companion to the Tools menu
(before clicking Run, click the
More button, and then tick Add
to Tools Menu).
You can learn
more on the Family Historian website, or see
chart examples
below. You can buy Charting Companion, at an
exceptionally competitive price, directly from the
Family
Historian Store.
Descendant Fan Chart
