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 called example.grdb, and import the example.gramps data into it.
If not the case, set the active person to ''Garner, Lewis Anderson''.
Open the filter editor and create a new filter, called '''Frances1'''. The filter should contain the rules
* ''Ancestors of &lt;<person>'' choose Christiansen, Frances and check &lt;<tt>inclusive&lt;</tt>.* ''Descendants of &lt;<person>'' chose Christiansen, Frances

|&lt;<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]).&lt;</center>

== Troubleshooting ==
*If you encounter bad fonts (missing characters) or wrong fontsizes, see Example 3 on how you can set the font yourself.
*If you have a bad resolution of png, eg unreadable text, this is probably because you have set a paper size which is to small. See Exampe 1-A: set the papersize of number of pages to a high number, but select in '''Layout Options''', in Aspect ratio: &lt;<tt>automatically use optimal number pages&lt;</tt>, or use &lt;<tt>minimal size&lt;</tt>
{{man warn|Reports and custom IDs|After a GEDCOM import, your database can use <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.thepiggybackrider.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;/*CITATION*/">child carrier</span>]</span> some non-standard IDs (ie. 123I or 456U not set on '''Edit --> Preferences --> Identifiants ID'''). If generated reports do not properly display data, then try [[Gramps_3.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Reorder_GRAMPS_ID|Reorder GRAMPS IDs tool]] ('''Tools-->Database Processing-->Reorder GRAMPS IDs''').}}
