Pedigree Design
The pedigree layout may be customized in many ways. You can:
Include or exclude elements such as photos, logo, or pedigree signature
Set a background image (watermark)
Change fonts and text color
Set border thickness, style and color
Set background colors
Change the displayed text, including selection of data fields
Resize form elements, such as photos and ancestor cells
The way to go about changing many of these layout properties is fairly obvious, and you may well find that you do not need to read this section in order to
make those changes. However, reading the information given here will give you a better understanding of how a pedigree is structured, and this will help you
customize the appearance more effectively.
TIP: Be sure to click the Design option (above the displayed pedigree) when making changes. This gives access to more options and causes 'resize bars' to
appear which can be moved to resize pedigree elements.
TIP 2: Many layout settings can be accessed through popup menus. Just point the mouse at whatever you want to change, then right-click to see the menu.
