Common tasks

While this manual does not document the - gramps database interface, this section - shows a few common tasks. -

Printing names of people

This example shows how to display the name of people in the - database. It assumes that the database is called - db. To get a list of people, it calls the - getPersonMap method, which returns a map of - gramps ID to - Person objects. Calling the - valus method of the returned map returns a - list of people. For each person, the primary name is extracted, - and then the Name object's - getName method is called to build a - presentable name from the individual name components. -


for person in db.getPersonMap().values():
-    name = person.getPrimaryName()
-    print name.getName()
-
-	

Figure 6. Displaying names

Displaying the events of person

This example shows how to display the public events associated - with a person. It assumes that the person is called - person. -


for event in person.getEventList():
-    if event.getPrivacy() == 0:
-        print "Event:",event.getName()
-	print "Date:",event.getDate()
-	print "Place:",event.getPlaceName()
-
-	

Figure 7. Displaying Event Information

Print the members of each family

This example shows how to display the parents and children of - each family in the database. It assumes that the database is called - db. -


for family in db.getFamilyMap().values:
-    print "-------------------"
-    print "Family ID:",family.getId()
-    father = family.getFather()
-    if father != None:
-        print "Father:",father.getPrimaryName().getName()
-    mother = family.getMother()
-    if mother != None:
-        print "Mother:",mother.getPrimaryName().getName()
-    for child in family.getChildList():
-        print "Child:",child.getPrimaryName().getName()
-
-	

Figure 8. Displaying Family Information

Display the marriages/relationships of a person

This example shows how to display the families and relationships - in which the person is considered a spouse or parent. It assumes - that the person is called person. -

Relationships between people can be complex. Because someone is - male, does not necessarily mean that the person will be - considered the "Father" of a relationship. In relationships of - type "Partners", the "father" and "mother" of the relationship - should be of the same gender. So to determine the spouse of a - person, it is usually best to compare the person against what is - returned by getFather and - getMother to find the one that is not - equal. It should also be noted that the - getFather and - getMother methods will return None if noone - has been associated with that role in the family. -


for family in person.getFamilyList():
-    print "-------------------"
-    print "Family ID:",family.getId()
-    print "Relationship Type:",family.getRelationship()
-    father = family.getFather()
-    if father != None and father != person:
-        print "Spouse:",father.getPrimaryName().getName()
-    mother = family.getMother()
-    if mother != None and mother != person:
-        print "Spouse:",mother.getPrimaryName().getName()

Introduction

gramps was intended from the start to - allow the user to extend it through a plugin system. Five types of - plugins are supported - filters, reports, tools, import filters, - and export filters. In a way, an export filter can be viewed as a - special type of report, and an import filter can be viewed as a - special type of tool. -

All plugins are written in the python - language. -

Filters

A filter is a plugin that be used to temporarily display or hide - individuals in the People View. The - filter is the simplest form of plugin, which only needs to - determine if a person meets or fails to meet its criteria. It - operates on a single person at a time. -

Filters should never alter a database. -

Reports

A report is a plugin that generates output. The output may be in - either a interactive, graphical form, or as an output - file. Report plugins are passed a reference to the internal - database and a reference to the active person, which allows the - plugn to operate on a single person, the entire database, or - anything in between. -

Plugins that conform to the reportplugin interface appear in the - Reports - menu and in the Report Selection dialog - box. -

A report should never alter the database. -

Tools

A tool is a plugin that alters the database. It may perform - something as small changing the case of some text to something - as complex as merging redundant individuals. Tools plugins are - passed a reference to the internal database, the active person, - and a callback function. The callback function is used to notify - the main program if it needs to update the display with any - modified information. -

Plugins that conform to the tool plugin interface appear in the - Tools - menu and in the Tool Selection dialog - box. -

A tool is allowed (and usually expected) to alter the database. -

Import Filters

An import filter is a plugin that adds information from another - source to the database. It is similar to a tool, but is called - differently to allow gramps to distinguish it from a tool. -

Plugins that conform to the import filter calling syntax appear - in the - File->Import - menu. -

An import filter is allowed to modify the database. -

Export Filters

An export filter is a plugin that translates the gramps database - into the format expected by another program. Since it generates - an output file, it is similar to a report generator. However, - its calling syntax is different, so that gramps knows how to - distiguish it from a report generator. -

Plugins that conform to the export filter calling syntax appear - in the - File->Export - menu. -

An export filter should not alter the database. -

Writing Export Filters

Export filters are similar to report generators. They are not - allowed to modify the database. An export filter accepts three - arguments — a database, the filename of the file that is to - be written, and a callback function. -

The callback function is indentical from the callback function - used for import filters. The export filter's callback function is - used to indicate progress and update the status bar during the - export process. The function takes a value between 0.0 and 1.0, - where 0.0 represents the start of the export and 1.0 represents - the completion of the export. -

As with the other plugin types, an export filter must be - registered with gramps. This is - accomplished by calling the - Plugins.register_export task. The - Plugins.register_export accepts two arguments - — the function the performs the import and a string - providing a brief description. This description is used as the - menu entry under the - File->Export - menu. -


import Plugins
-
-def gedcom_export(database,filename,callback):
-    ... actual code ...
-
-Plugins.register_export(gedcom_export,"GEDCOM export")
-
-

Writing Filters

Users can create their own filters and add them to - gramps. By adding the filter to the - user's private filter directory (~/.gramps/filters), the filter will - be automatically recognized the next time that the program is - started. -

Creating a filter

Each filter is a class derived from the - Filter.Filter class. The - __init__ task may be overridden, but if so, - should call the __init__ function on the - Filter.Filter class. The parent class - provides the variable self.text, which - contains the text string passed as the qualifier. This string - provides additional information provided by the user. For - example, if the filter is used to match names, the qualifier - would be used to provide the name that is being compared - against. -

All filter classes must define a match - function. The function takes one argument (other than - self), which is an object of type - Person to compare against. The function - should return a 1 if the person matches the filter, or a zero if - the person does not. -

Each filter must be registered, so that - gramps knows about it. This is - accomplished by calling the - Filter.register_filter function. This - function takes three arguments - the filter class, a - description, and flag that indicates if the qualifier string is - needed. The description string appears in the pull down - interface within gramps, and helps - the user choose the appropriate filter. The qualifier flag tells - gramps whether or not the filter - needs a qualifier string. If this flag is 0, - gramps will disable the entry of a - qualifier string. -


import Filter
-import string
-
-# class definition
-
-class SubString(Filter.Filter):
-
-    def match(self,person):
-        name = person.getPrimaryName().getName()
-        return string.find(name,self.text) >= 0
-
-Filter.register_filter(SubString,
-                       description="Names that contain a substring",
-	               qualifier=1)
-

Writing Import Filters

Import filters are similar to tools, since they are allowed to - modify the databases. An import filter is a task that accepts - three arguments — a database, the filename of the file that - is to be imported, and a callback function. -

The database may or may not have data already in it. The import - filter cannot assume that data neither already exists nor that the - database is empty. -

The callback function is different from the callback function used - for tools. The import filter's callback function is used to - indicate progress and update the status bar during the import - process. The function takes a value between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 - represents the start of the import and 1.0 represents the - completion of the import. -

As with the other plugin types, an import filter must be - registered with gramps. This is - accomplished by calling the - Plugins.register_import task. The - Plugins.register_import accepts two arguments - — the function the performs the import and a string - providing a brief description. This description is used as the - menu entry under the - File->Import - menu. -


import Plugins
-
-def gedcom_import(database,filename,callback):

-Plugins.register_import(gedcom_import,"GEDCOM import")

Writing Reports

Users can create their own report generators and add them to - gramps. By adding the report generator - to the user's private plugin directory (~/.gramps/plugins), the report - generator will be automatically recognized the next time that the - program is started. -

Creating a report generator

Fewer restrictions are made on report generators than on - filters. The report generator is passed the current - gramps database and the active - person. The generator needs to take special care to make sure - that it does not alter the database in anyway. -

A report generator is a function that takes two arguments - — a database (of type RelDataBase) - and the currently selected person (of type - Person). When called, this task should - generate the desired report. -

This function's implementation can be as simple as generating - output without the user's intervention, or it could display a - graphical interface to allow the user to select options and - customize a report. -

As with filters, the report generator must be registered before - gramps will understand it. The report - generator is registered using the - Plugins.register_report. This function - takes five arguments. -

  • The report generation task This task - that generates the report. -

  • The report category The category in - which the report is grouped in the - Reports menu and - in the Report Selection dialog. -

  • The report name - The name of the report. -

  • A text description of the report The - description appears in the report selection tool to provide - the user with a description of what the tools does. -

  • A graphic logo in XPM format This may - be either a path to a filename, or a list of strings - containting the XPM data. If a filename is specified, care - must be taken to make sure the file location is relocatable - and can be determined at runtime. -

While only the task and report name are required, it is - recommended to provide all five parameters. -


import Plugins
-
-def report(database,person):
-   ... actual code ...
-
-Plugins.register_report(
-    task=report,
-    category="Category",
-    name="Report Name",
-    description="A text descripition of the report generator",
-    xpm="%s/myfile.xpm" % os.path.dirname(__file__)
-)
-

A little help - Format Interfaces

gramps provides some help with - writing reports. Several generic python classes exist that aid - in the writing of report generators. These classes provide an - abstract interface for a type of document, such as a drawing, - word processor document, or a spreadsheet. From these core - classes, gramps derives interfaces to - various document formats. This means that by coding to the - generic word processing class (TextDoc), a - report generator can instant access to multiple file formats - (such as HTML, OpenOffice, and AbiWord). -

This scheme of deriving a output format from a generic base - class also makes it easier to add new formats. Creating a new - derivied class targeting a different format (such as - KWord or - LaTeX) makes it easy for existing - report generators to use the new formats. -

Unlike a report generator, a tool is allowed to modify the - database. The tool is passed the current - gramps database, the active person, - and a callback function. The callback function should be called - with a non-zero argument upon completion of the tool if the - database has been altered. -

As with filters and report generators, tools must be registered - before gramps will understand it. The - tool is registered using the - Plugins.register_tool. This function takes - four arguments. -

Bookmarking People

GRAMPS supports two mechanisms to - quickly find people - the home person and bookmarks. -

Home Person

The home person is the default person of the database. Upon - loading the database, GRAMPS will set - the active person to the default person. At any time, clicking - the Home button will return the active - person to the home person. -

The home person can be set by choosing - Settings->Set Default Person. -

Bookmarks

Bookmarks work similar to bookmarks in HTML browsers. They - allow you to quickly jump to a person, making that person the - active person. This allows you to avoid searching for them - every time you want to add/change something in their information. -

Figure 23. Using Bookmarks

Choosing - Bookmarks->Add Bookmark - adds the current active person to the bookmark list. The person - will then appear in the bookmark list, allowing you to quickly - select the person. -

Choosing - Bookmarks->Go to Bookmark - displays a submenu which allows you to choose a person who was - previously bookmarked. Selecting a person from this menu will - make that person the active person. -

Choosing - Bookmarks->Edit Bookmarks - displays a dialog box that allows you to reorder or delete - bookmarks in the list. -

Editing a person's data

A person's personal information can be edited in the - Edit Person dialog. -

General Information Tab

Figure 5. General Information Tab

The General Information tab contains the basic information about - the person. This includes the person's name, gender, birth - information, and death information. -

If images have been associated with the person, the primary - image is displayed on the right side of the window. -

Alternate Names Tab

Figure 6. Alternate Names Tab

It is possible for people to use more than one name during their - lifetime. These may be legal name changes, or just informal - names. An example would be a person changing his or her name due - to marriage or adoption. GRAMPS - allows multiple alternate names to be specified for each person. -

The Alternate Names tab allows additional - names to be added or removed from list. Clicking the - Add button allows a new name to be added - to the list. The Edit/View allows the - selected alternate name to be edited. The - Delete button removes the selected name. -

Events Tab

The Events tab allows information about - various events in a person's life to be - recorded. GRAMPS provides a list of - common events, but allows you to name an event anything that you - choose. -

An event consists of the name of an event (such as "Baptism" or - "Education"), a date or date range on which the event occurred, - the place where the event occurred, and a description of the - event. A note or a source may also be attached to the event. -

Figure 7. Events Tab

The Event tab displays information about - the currently selected event at the top of the window. Below - this information is a list of the events that have been - previously entered. Clicking on one of the events in the list - selects the event, and displays its information at the top of - the window. -

An event may be added by clicking the Add - button. This displays a form that allows you to enter the - information about the particular event. The - Edit/View button allows to view or to - alter the information of the currently displayed event. The - Delete button allows you to delete the - currently displayed event. -

Attributes Tab

Attributes are similar to events, but are for information items - that do not necessarily have the concept of a place or a - date. An example would be a person's Social Security Number or - national origin. Attributes consist of an attribute name and its - value. -

Like events, attributes may also have a note, source, privacy - marker, and confidence level associated with them. -

Figure 8. Attributes Tab

The Attribute tab displays information - about the currently selected attribute at the top of the - window. Below this information is a list of the attributes that - have been previously entered. Clicking on one of the attributes - in the list selects the attribute, and displays its information at - the top of the window. -

An attribute may be added by clicking the - Add button. This displays a form that - allows you to enter the information about the particular - attribute. The Edit/View button allows to - view or to alter the information of the currently displayed - attribute. The Delete button allows you to - delete the currently displayed attribute. -

Addresses Tab

Addresses are used to record information about where a person - has lived. Addresses are different from - GRAMPS' concept of a place. An - address, as GRAMPS sees, it consists - of an equivalent of a mailing address and the date or date range - when the person lived at the address. -

Like events and attributes, addresses may also have a note, - source, privacy marker, and confidence level associated with - them. -

Figure 9. Addresses Tab

The Address tab displays information - about the currently selected address at the top of the - window. Below this information is a list of the addresses that - have been previously entered. Clicking on one of the addresses - in the list selects the address, and displays its information at - the top of the window. -

An address may be added by clicking the - Add button. This displays a form that - allows you to enter the information about the particular - address. The Edit/View button allows to - view or to alter the information of the currently displayed - address. The Delete button allows you to - delete the currently displayed address. -

Notes Tab

In addition to the notes that may be attached to any particular - event, attribute, or address, GRAMPS - has a generic note attached to the person. -

Figure 10. Notes Tab

The note window is a free-form edit window, allowing you to - enter any information that you want. -

Gallery Tab

The Gallery tab allows you to associate - files (known in GRAMPS as media - objects) with a particular person. These files are typically - images or photographs, but may be of any filetype, such as (but - not limited to) sound files and word processing documents. -

Figure 11. Gallery Tab

GRAMPS provides a central repository - for all media objects in the Media View. This allows the same - media object to appear in multiple galleries. Adding a media - object to a gallery actually adds the object to the Media View, - and makes a local reference in the gallery. -

While each media object can have a note and attributes attached - to it, each gallery can add its own notes and attributes to the - reference in its gallery. This allows media objects to have - global and local properties. For example, a photo of a family - reunion may have many people in it. A global note may describe - the picture in general, identifying the place and date. When - this object is added to a gallery, you can attach a note to the - reference in the gallery adding some specific information, such - as "Aunt Martha is the third person from the right in the - second row". Clicking the Edit - Properties allows you to edit the local properties. -

Figure 12. Local Media Properties

The first object in the gallery is considered to be the primary - image. If this object is an image, it will appear on the - General Information tab, and will be the - primary image used by report generators. An image can be made - the default at any time by selecting the thumbnail image and - dragging it to the first position in the gallery. In this same - manner, the order of the images can be changed using the same - drag and drop technique. -

Objects may be added to the gallery in several ways. By clicking - the Add Media Object button, a dialog box - is presented which allows you to choose an object from the file - system. This method adds a new object to the Media View and - creates a reference in the gallery. Objects may also be added - by either dragging and dropping from one gallery to another, or - by dragging from the Media View to a gallery. In this case, a - new media object is not created, but a reference to an existing - media object is made in the gallery, sharing the same media - object between galleries. Finally, new objects may be added to a - gallery and the Media View by dragging and dropping from a file - manager (such as Nautilus or - Konqueror) or a web browser (such as - Galeon, - Mozilla, or - Konqueror) into a gallery. -

Media objects can be removed from a gallery by clicking the - Delete Media Object button. This action - only removes the reference to the current gallery. It does not - remove the media object from the Media View or from any other - galleries that are referencing it. -

Right clicking on a selected object brings up a menu. -

Menu options

View in default viewer

Allows you to view an object image using GNOME's default - viewer for the file type. -

Edit with the GIMP

Launches the gimp program, - allowing you to edit the image. This option only shows up - if the media object is an image. -

Edit Object Properties

Allows you to change the attributes and note attached to the - media object. -

Convert to local copy

This option is only displayed if the media is a reference - to a file that is not controlled by - GRAMPS. Selecting the option - causes GRAMPS to make its own - copy of the media object. -

Internet Tab

Frequently, information about a person is available on the - internet, frequently on someone else's web site. With multiple - people researching the same family, it is desirable to keep track - of internet sites that contain information about someone in your - database. This allows you to keep track of the web sites you - can periodically check them for any addition information. -

Figure 13. Internet Tab

The Internet tab displays information about - the currently selected internet address at the top of the window. Below - this information is a list of the internet address that have been - previously entered. Clicking on one of the events in the list - selects the event, and displays its information at the top of - the window. -

Clicking on the internet address displayed at the top part of - the window will cause GRAMPS to attempt - to display the site using the GNOME default browser. -

An internet address may be added by clicking on the - Add button. This displays a form that - allows you to enter the information about the internet - address. This information consists of the web address (URL) and - a description of the location. The - Edit/View button allows to view or alter - the information of the currently displayed internet address. The - Delete button allows you to delete the - currently displayed internet address. -

LDS Tab

If you have chosen to enable support for the LDS (Latter Day Saints) - ordinances, the LDS tab is visible, and can - be selected. This tab allows you to enter specific information used - by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. -

Family View

The Family View window displays the spouses, parents, and children - of the active person. At any time, you can return to this view - either by pressing the Family button at the - top of the screen, or by choosing the - View->Family View - entry from the menus. -

Figure 15. Family View

In the Family View, the family information related to the active - person is displayed. This information falls into two categories: - families in which the person is a child, and families in which the - person is a spouse or parent. -

Relationships to Parents

On the right hand side of the window displays the parents of the - active person. By default, a birth relationship is - assumed. GRAMPS supports multiple - family relationships for each person. For example, a person may - have natural birth parents and adopted parents. In this case, an - option menu will appear below the parents names, allowing you to - choose which set of parents you wish to view. -

- Pressing the Add/Edit Parents - allows you to choose the active person's parents and specify the - person's relationship to the parents. -

Pressing the Delete Parents does not - remove the parents from the database, but instead deletes the - relationship between the active person and the currently displayed - parents. -

To right of the names of the parents are two "arrow" - buttons. Selecting the button next to the father changes the - father to the active person, and displays the fathers - information in the Family View window. Similarly, selecting the - button next to the mother changes the mother to the active - person. -

To the left of the parents' names are buttons indicating the - relationship to the active person. These are typically labeled - "Father" and "Mother", but in some cases may simply be labeled - "Parent". Pressing one of these buttons will display the - Edit Person for the corresponding person. -

Marriage/Relationship Information

On the left side of the window, below the active person's name, - is the information related to the person's marriages and - relationships. If the person has one or no relationships, the - spouse will appear within a non-editable text box. If more than - one relationship exists, the text box will be replaced with an - option menu that allows you to select the relationship to view. -

Between the active person and the relationship information is a - button with two arrows. Pressing this button will exchange the - active person and spouse on the display. The currently displayed - spouse will become the active person, and the family information - on the right hand side of the screen will change to reflect - this. -

Pressing the Spouse next to the spouse's - name will display the currently displayed spouse's information - in an Edit Person dialog, allowing you - change the information -

Pressing the Add located below the entry - for the spouse's name allows a new relationship to be - added. This gives you the opportunity to select and existing - person or to add a new person as the new spouse. The type of - relationship can also be specified. All relationship types, - except "Partners" require that the spouses be of opposite - sex. The "Partners" relationship type requires that the spouses - be of the same sex. -

Pressing the Edit button allows you to - edit the information related to the marriage. The information - includes events, attributes, and images. -

The Remove button removes the current - spouse from the relationship. If no children exist in the - relationship, the entire relationship is removed. If children - exist in the relationship, the current spouse is removed, - and the children remain in a family with the active person as the - only parent. -

Children of a Relationship

The bottom of the window contains the list of children related - to the active person and the currently selected spouse. Clicking - on an entry in the list makes that child the active child. -

Clicking the Add New Child creates a new - child and adds him or her as a child of the current - relationship. Clicking the Add Existing - Child allows you to select an existing person and - assign the person as a child of the current - relationship. Clicking the Remove Child - removes the active child from the current relationship, but does - not delete the person from the database. -

Double clicking on an entry in the list brings up the - Edit Person dialog for the child. -

You are able to make the selected child the active person by - clicking the arrow button next to the child list. The - highlighted child in the child list becomes the active person. -

Generating Reports

GRAMPS can produce a wide variety of - reports. A new report generator can be written by the user without - modifying the main program. For this reason, there may be more - reports available than are documented by this manual. -

Figure 41. Report Generation Dialog

Unlike many genealogy programs, GRAMPS - does not directly print reports. Instead, - GRAMPS produces reports in formats that - are understood by other programs. These formats include - OpenOffice, AbiWord, PDF, and HTML, among others. This allows the - generated reports to be modified after they are generated, stored - for use at a later time, or e-mailed to another person. -

After selecting the report you would like generated there are - options you must select. In the Save As option specify your file - name (use /full path/filename to specify a different directory - than in your Default Report Directory preference in the - preferences). The next step is to select the Report Format. - After choosing the Format you can select the style you would like - to use for your report (this does not apply to the HTML format). - You can Add/Edit/Delete a style for that particular report by - clicking the Style Editor button. - Selecting one of those options you can then change the font (font - face, size, color, and options) for each Paragraph Style along - with the Paragraph Options (Alignment, background color, margins, - and borders). Once you are satisfied with the style you are ready - to proceed with the generation of your report. The next step is - to choose the options (if any for that specific report) and then - Choose the Template (for HTML format only) and click OK. Your - report will now be in default report directory (unless otherwise - specified). -

Using HTML templates

Many programs exist to convert GEDCOM files into HTML files that - can be viewed in a web browser. Most of these programs generate - HTML files according to their own predefined style. Since most - people have a style that they prefer, they are left with the - option of modifying hundreds of files by hand. -

To solve this problem, GRAMPS allows - the user to specify a template to be used for generating HTML - files. At the time the report is generated, if HTML is selected - as the target format, the user can select an HTML template to be - used. Since the template is chosen at report generation time, a - different template may be chosen each time, allowing the user to - change the appearance of the generated files at any time. - Nearly any existing HTML file can be used as an HTML template - for GRAMPS. -

When a file has been established as the HTML template file, - GRAMPS uses the template for each - file that it generates. GRAMPS starts - each file by copying data from the template until it reaches the - HTML comment, which it uses as a marker. At that point, - GRAMPS inserts its data into the - output file. GRAMPS the continues - reading the until it reaches a second comment that tells it to - resume copying from the template. -

GRAMPS uses the string - <!-- START --> to indicate where it - should start inserting its information, and the string - <!-- STOP --> to indicate where it - should resume copying data from the template. The effect is - that GRAMPS will create a new - document, replacing everything between the <!-- - START --> and <!-- STOP - --> comments with the report information. -

The comment markers should be at the beginning of a line in the - HTML template file. Adding the comments to an existing HTML - document will not affect the original HTML document in any way. -

If no HTML template is specified, or if the specified template - cannot be read, GRAMPS will use a - default, predefined template. -

<HTML>
-<HEAD>
-<TITLE>
-This is my Title
-</TITLE>
-</HEAD>
-<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
-<P>
-This is a simple template.  This text will appear in the html output.
-</P>
-<!-- START -->
-<P>
-This is where GRAMPS will place its report information. Any 
-information between the two comments, including this paragraph,
-will not appear in the GRAMPS generated output.
-</P>
-<!-- STOP -->
-<P>
-This text, since it appears after the stop comment, will also
-appear in every GRAMPS generated file.

Introduction

GRAMPS is an acronym for the - Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System. - It was conceived under the concept that most genealogy programs - were designed to provide the researcher the capability to input - information related to a particular family tree. Most of these - programs have allowed for the arranging and storing of information - consistent with the GEDCOM standards. They usually provide a - means for displaying descendant or ancestral relationships by - means of graphical displays, charts, or reports. These may be - augmented with pictures or other media to enhance the data. Most - provide for inputting data on unconnected individuals/families - that may or may not have a relationship to the primary surname - being researched. Various other enhancements may also be provided - in the genealogical program that allows for different degrees of - importing and exporting data from other programs and printing of - the data contained in the various reports. GRAMPS, on the other - hand, attempts to provide all of the common capabilities of these - programs, but, more importantly, to provide a capability not - common to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits - and pieces of information directly into GRAMPS and - rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base - (in any order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, - analysis and correlation with the potential of filling - relationship gaps. In short, a tool that provides a way to input - all your research into one place and do your analysis and - correlation using the speed, power, and accuracy of your computer - instead of pencils and unmanageable reams of paper. -

To run GRAMPS, select - Programs->Applications->gramps - from the Main Menu, or type - gramps on the command line. -

This document describes version 0.7.2 of - GRAMPS. -

Media View

The Media View window displays the files associated with the - database. Typically, these files are images, but - GRAMPS allows you to attach any type of - file to the database. GRAMPS refers to - attached files as media objects. You can access the Media View at - any time by either pressing the Media - button at the top of the screen, or by choosing the - View->Media - entry from the menus. -

Figure 20. Media View

Media Objects

Media objects can be either local or external to a - GRAMPS database. If - GRAMPS is told to import an object as - a local object, it will make its own copy of the file in the - database directory. If the object is not imported as a local - object, the original file is used. -

There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods. If the - object is local, then if the original file is moved or deleted, - then GRAMPS will still have its own - copy. However, this is at the price of having two copies of the - file. If the file is not imported as a local object, then a copy - is not made, saving disk space. However, altering or deleting - the original copy will affect the - GRAMPS database. -

Adding a Media Object

Media objects can be imported in several ways. Adding an object - to any gallery adds the object to the Media View. The gallery is - will actually contain a reference to the object in the Media - View. -

Objects may also be added using the Add Media - Object button. This will add the object to the Media - View, but not to any gallery. When you select the file to be - added, a preview will be displayed in the preview window. If the - file is an image, the image will be displayed. Otherwise, an - icon representing the file type will be displayed. In the dialog - box, you may choose to either import the object as a local - object, or leave it as an external object. -

Figure 21. Add Media Object Dialog Box

-

Finally, you may drag-and-drop an object from either a file - manager or a web browser. If the object is dropped into a - gallery, then a reference is made in the gallery, and the object - appears in the Media View. If the object is dropped directly - into the Media View, then it appears in the Media View, but will - not appear in a gallery. Currently, all objects imported via - drag-and-drop are imported as external (not local) objects. -

Making a Reference to a Media Object

Once an object is in the Media View, it is possible to make a - reference to it in any gallery. You may place the object in as - many galleries as you like, and only one copy of the file will - exist. -

To make a reference to a media object in a gallery, you may - simply drag-and-drop the object from the Media View directly to - a gallery. The object will then appear in the - gallery. Similarly, you may drag-and-drop from one gallery to - another gallery, and a new object reference is created in the - target gallery. -

Changing a Media Object's Properties

Media objects have global and local properties. The title of the - object is a global property. It may only be changed from the - Media View, and it will affect all references. An object also - has a global note and a set of user defined global attributes. - A reference in a gallery may a have a local note and local - attributes as well. All references share the global properties, - but each gallery has its own set of notes a attributes. -

The global note can be used to provide a general - description. For example, in a family reunion image, you may - wish to use the global note to indicate the place, date, and - occasion of the photograph. In a local note in Aunt Martha's - gallery, you may wish to add a local note indicating that - "Aunt Martha is the third person from the right in the - second row". -

The global properties may be changed by selecting the - Edit Media Object button. -

Pedigree View

The Pedigree View window displays the active person, the active - person's parents, and the active parent's grandparents in a - somewhat graphical manner. At any time, you can return to this - view either by pressing the Pedigree button at the top of the - screen, or by choosing the - View->Pedigree - entry from the menus. -

Figure 16. Pedigree View

Moving the mouse over a displayed name will display additional - information about a person, including their date of birth and date - of death. Double-clicking the box will display the Edit - Person dialog box for the person. Holding down the - Shift key while double clicking will will make that person the - active person. -

Navigation around the tree can be accomplished several - ways. Clicking on the arrow next to the active person will display - a menu listing the children of the active person. Selecting a - person from this list will change the active person to the - selected child, effectively shifting the pedigree view to the - left, or down one generation. Clicking one of the arrow buttons on - the left side of the screen will make the select either the active - person's father (top button) or mother (bottom button), - effectively shifting the pedigree view to the right, or up one - generation. If the active person does not have any children, then - the button on the left-hand side of the screen will not - appear. Similarly, if the active person does have a father or - mother, the corresponding button on the right-hand side of the - screen will not appear. -

Figure 17. Navigation

As a quick short cut, double clicking on a line between two people - will make the person on the right-hand side of the line the active - person. Figure 17 shows navigation using this - method. When the mouse is over one of the lines connecting - individuals, the line widens and becomes highlighted. In this - case, double clicking on the line would make Hjalmar Smith the - active person. -

If the Delete Person button is pressed, - the active person and all of the personal information related to - the active person are removed from the database. -

Applying Filters

GRAMPS allows you to apply filters to - the People View. When a filter is applied, the People View will - only display the entries matching the filter. All of the entries - remain in the database, but some entries may be temporarily hidden. -

There are up to three parts to a filter. The first part is the - selection of the filter to be applied. A filter is selected from - the option menu directly above the People View. The second part - is an optional argument. This qualifier provides more specific - information for the filter. Many filters do not require the - argument, and it will not be displayed if it is not needed. If - the argument is required, a text box with a descriptive label - will appear. The third part of the filter is the invert - selection. When this option is selected, - GRAMPS will display the entries that - do not match the filter. -

Figure 4. Filter that reqires an argument

A filter is not applied until the Apply - button is pressed. The filter will remain in effect until the - next time the Apply button is pressed. -

Sorting

Four columns are shown in the People View display. The entries - in the list can be sorted by three of the fields: Name, Birth - Date, or Death Date. Clicking on the column label will cause - the list to be re-sorted by that column. Arrows on the label - indicate whether the list is sorted by ascending or descending - order. -

If the list is already sorted by a particular column, clicking - on the same column label will switch the sorting order. For - example, if the list is currently sorted in ascending order by - Name, clicking on the Name column header will re-sort the list - in descending order. -

Using Revision Control

Revision control allows you to keep a history of the changes that - you have made to your database. Instead of needing to keep - multiple sets of back up files, a single revision control database - is maintained. At any point, you can revert back to a previously - saved version. -

GRAMPS uses the standard - RCS system to handle revisions. -

Revision control is enabled in the Revision Control tab of the - preferences dialog. Once enabled, every save is logged into the - revision control database. If you have enabled prompting for a - comment, then a dialog box will be displayed on every save asking - you to provide a comment about the changes you have made. -

Figure 25. Providing a revision control comment

-

Reverting to a previous version

If revision control has been enabled, you have the option of - reverting to a previous version of the database. Selecting the - check box will allow you to select a previous version. -

Figure 26. Opening a database

-

If the check box has be selected, GRAMPS - will display a dialog box that will allow you to choose which version - you would like to view. The dialog box displays the version number, the - date the version was saved, who saved the database, and any comment supplied - when the database was saved. -

Figure 27. Choosing a revision

-

Choosing a previous revision does not replace your current - database. If you do not save the retrieved database, it will not - replace the current version. If for some reason you accidentally - save the retrieved database when you did not want to replace the - current version, you can always use the revision control - mechanism to get back the version you replaced. -

Revision control is applied only to the database itself, not to - any media objects have been associated with the database. -
