GRAMPS Gramps can produce charts, but to view them, you need other programs. We recommend that you install the following:
Gramps
{{languages|Howto: Make a relationship chart}}
{{out of date}}This is a Howto on how to make a relationship chart (can be ancestors, descendants, ...) with GRAMPS Gramps 2.2.x. and the Relationship plugin.[[Image:RelationshipChartDescendants.png|right|thumb|300px|An example chart]]
The report is made with the graphviz backend, so you need to install [http://graphviz.org graphviz] (on linux, use your package manager).
== Before you start ==
* [http://graphviz.org Graphviz]: '''required''' for relationship charts
* [http://www.inkscape.org/ Inkscape]: for viewing and editing svg charts, export to png
=== What are filters?===
In GRAMPS Gramps you can define filters to make a selection of individuals, see [[Example_filters| Examples of filters]]. In the relationship chart all custom person filters you made will be available, as well as the standard descendants and ancestors filters. These last start from the active person.
{{man tip|Tip|You can add to a family stepchildren by setting the relationship of the child to the mother to ''step child''. In doing so, these children will be part of a descendant report without the need to create a custom filter to include them.}}
== Example 1-A: a descendant chart ==

Download [http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/trunk/example/gramps/data.gramps?view=markup&pathrev=10822 example.gramps], on this page use the {{man label|Download}} link, create a new database in GRAMPS Gramps called example, and import the example.gramps data into it.
If not the case, set the active person to ''Garner, Lewis Anderson''.
...
then the actual GRAMPS Gramps data are shown:
I3493 [ shape="box" fillcolor="pink" style="solid,filled" label="Blancke, Charlotte\n(1801)" ];
