The naming for mathematical tree structures with parent nodes and child nodes is traded from historical family diagrams. However, even the smallest family entity consisting of two parents and several children is no mathematical tree but a more general graph. The `genealogytree` packages provides a set of tools to typeset such genealogical trees or, more precisely, to typeset a set of special graphs for the description of family-like structures. The package uses an autolayout algorithm which can be customized to e.g. prioritize certain paths. ## Contents of the package - `README.md` this file - `CHANGES.md` log of changes (history) - `genealogytree.sty` LaTeX package file (style file) - `*.code.tex` LaTeX package file (library of genealogytree) - `genealogytree.pdf` Documentation for genealogytree - `genealogytree-example-*.pdf` Example pedigree charts - `genealogytree-languages.pdf` Short language survey - `genealogytree.doc.sources.zip` Source code of the documentation ## Installation Copy the contents of the `genealogytree.tds.zip` from CTAN to your local TeX file tree.
