Printing Diagrams

Post by rodit » 16 Aug 2014 07:34

In recent months there was a question about increasing the size of diagrams and printing without blurring. Tatewise replied and the response was to do with SCALE, from memory. I thought that I had printed out the way to do this, but apparently didn't.

Mike, could you please point me in the right direction? (I recollect that scaling up to 800% was mentioned in the answer). We are having a family reunion soon and I want to get a 5 generation diagram printed. This will probably be at a print shop where they can do it on a large printer.

Thanks in advance.

Roger

I believe the how_to:creating_a_single_page_pdf_of_a_diagram|> Single Page PDF of a Diagram offers all the currently available advice.

Note that some specialist Print Companies can print a Diagram directly from a Family Historian Project if you send them all the necessary files (GEDCOM file and required media photos).

Otherwise a Single Page PDF usually gives the best results, and what you see on your PC will be what gets printed.

Thanks, that worked out well. It also linked to the original Post which I referred to - Large Tree Printing, 29/1/2014
