→Family Lines Graph
This first tab allows several GraphViz options to be set:
* '''Width''': the width, in inches, of the final image. Set to a large number if generating .png or .gif files.* '''Height''': the height, in inches, of the final image. Set to a large number if generating .png or .gif files.* '''DPI''': dots-per-inch. Typically between 75 and 120 if generating .png or .gif files, but 300 or 600 if generating files to be printed.* '''Row spacing''': the whitespace to leave, in inches, between rows.* '''Columns spacing''': the whitespace to leave, in inches, between columns* '''Graph direction''': whether the tree grows from left-to-right, or right-to-left.* '''Ratio''': GraphViz uses this to determine how to position items. Only trial-and-error will help you determine the best option to use. (When in doubt, '''compress''' tends to work well.)

The FamilyLines.py plugin works by starting with a list of "people of interest". This initial list of people is then used to find both ancestors and descendants.
* '''People of interest''': click on "+" and "-" to add/remove people of interest. When in doubt, try adding your grandparents as a starting place.* '''Follow parents to determine family lines''': when selected, this causes FamilyLines.py to follow the parents to determine the full list of people of interest. You most likely want this selected.* '''Follow children to determine family lines''': when selected, this causes FamilyLines.py to follow the children of the people of interest.* '''Try to remove extra people and families''': when selected, this option causes FamilyLines.py to aggressively attempt to remove extra ancestors and families from the family tree.

* '''Males''', '''Females''', '''Unknown''': the colour to use for people whose surname doesn't match any of the names on the "Family Colours" tab.* '''Families''': the colour to use for families (weddings).* '''Limit the number of parents''': if selected, then the number of ancestors will be limited by the amount shown. This can only be selected if "Follow parents" has also been selected on the "People of Interest" tab.* '''Limit the number of children''': if selected, then the number of children will be limited by the amount shown. This can only be selected if "Follow children" has also been selected on the "People of Interest" tab.
