Added links for external applications. Added a warning about a bug in the Graphviz v2.12.
GRAMPS can produce charts, but to view them, you need other programs. We recommend that you install the following:
* [http://graphviz.org Graphviz]: '''required''' for relationship charts
* [http://www.inkscape.org/ Inkscape]: for viewing and editing svg charts, export to png* [http://www.gnu.org/software/gv/ gv], [http://linuxappfinder.com/package/kghostview kghostview]: for viewing ps charts
* ps2pdf: for converting ps to pdf
* [http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html adobe reader], [http://linuxappfinder.com/package/kpdf kpdf]: for viewing pdf charts* [http://www.openoffice.org/ openoffice], [http://www.koffice.org/ koffice]: for viewing odt documents
== Filters: what persons to print ? ==
== Example 3, Generating the graph by using the Graphviz command line tool ==

|<center style="font-size:100%">'''Note:''' The current stable version of [http://graphviz.org Graphviz] (v2.12) has a bug. In order to correctly display the family nodes (yellow balloons), all occurrences of the word ''ellipse'' should be changed to ''egg'' (see [http://www.graphviz.org/bugs/b1078.html bug report 1078]).</center>

=== Preperation with GRAMPS ===
Use this only as a way to work around problems like setting the paper size.
