Software for Making Charts

Legg inn av None » 29 des 2005 23:42:36

I am looking for software to make pedigree charts for including
into a book.

I will need to be able to make some small changes to the charts
when they are included... such as adding headers, footers, page
numbers, changing fonts etc.

What I have tried so far are:

* PAF: charts are ugly
* PAF Companion: charts look OK, but I can not use them because
they are in PDF format.

What format do you want? Can PDF be converted to that format?

The bast charting software I have ever found is TreeDraw from Spansoft
- http://www.spansoft.org. The program is shareware and can be downloaded to
try first.

I've created charts of all sizes from smaller than A4 to 64 feet wide
on 42cm deep banner paper.

My only connection with Spansoft is that of a user of their software.

Thanks. This program seems to do what I want to do, and it can
export in "emf" format which is Microsoft Word (my book format)
friendly.

I have not found anyway to edit the PDF files produced by PAF
companion. When I input the file into various editors all of the
formatting gets lost.
