Hi all,
(First post)
I’m creating some charts and would like to be able to have control over the information displayed. For example, I create an Hourglass Chart and it displays what seems like a fixed set of items (birth date, birth location, death date, location). I’d like to remove the location data and also include marriage dates.
Is this possible? I can’t find how to do it if it is. Hopefully it is quite easy.
Cheers!
As you point out these are Fixed so you can’t change them.
You can remove the Location by deleting them from each person. I would create a New database with the people you want and Remove the Location from then and print the report. That way you don’t mess with your database.
It would be a nice enhancement to print/not print these fields.
Thanks but disappointing. I remember being able to do this way back in the Brother’s Keeper days. I’m not going to create multiple databases just for charting. Too easy to get things out of sync. I’ll have to look for a good charting software using a gedcom export.
I have used Charting Companion (Currently version 8), this will read a RM Database file directly without resorting to a Gedcom. There is a Free Trial version for Windows or Mac.

It’s very tedious but if you save your chart as an SVG you can then edit it in a program like Inkscape. I’ve done that with fan charts before.
Total agreement on that sentiment! I think someone’s already requested that enhancement, but I can’t locate the link at the moment.
Confirming being able to adjust info included on charts has been reported to development.
