Your filter can contain as many people as you want. Note however that printing or viewing of large charts can be very problematic.
== Example 1-A: a descendant chart ==[[Image:RelationshipChartDescendants.png|right|thumb|200px|A descendant chart, click for details]]
Download [http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/gramps/trunk/gramps2/example/gramps/example.gramps?revision=7186 example.gramps], create a new database in GRAMPS called example.grdb, and import the example.gramps data into it.
(I sometimes experience problems setting the sizes in the Paper options dialog. A workaround is to use the example using graphviz code in example 3 below.)
For me The result (using gramps 2.2.7 ) can be seen to the right. You can use print this on windows XPa dedicated printer (check dpi of png!), or you can use this image on a website to share. In the last case, you can use the result was descendants.trick explained in [[Make flash plugin from a png]], to be uploaded here soonmake the resulting graph easier to navigate.
Use http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Make_flash_plugin_from_a_png to make the resulting graph easier to navigate. == Example 1b1-B: a chart with ancestors ==
Download and open the example.gramps file as in Example 1
== Example 2: A chart with ancestors, descendants and their families ==
[[Image:RelationshipChartAncestorsAndDescendants.png|right|thumb|450px|A large chart, click for details, 363kb]]Note: This example uses filters. See [http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Example_filters[Example filters]] for en an introductory example. 
Open the file example.gramps and select Cristiansen, Frances as the active person.
First we create a helper filter:
Open the filter editor and create a new filter, called '''Frances1'''. The filter should contain the rules
* "Ancestors of <person>" choose Christiansen, Frances and check "inclusive".
* "Descendants of <person>" chose Christiansen, Frances
Make sure that "At least one rule must be fulfilled" is chosen, so that we get both ancestors and descendants.!
Now we create the filter we want will actually use for the report, an will be based on the previous filter: Create a new filter, called '''Frances2'''. This filter should contain the rules:
* "People matching the filter", choose Frances1
* "Spouses of filter" Frances1
Now close the filter editor, and follow the instruction sin examples instructions given in Examples 1a and 1b, but this time choosing the filter "Frances2" in the <tt>Report Options </tt> tab. My The result is visible to the right (363kb, large file: ancestorsAndDescendants.png!)
