* Changing box shape to show gender

[HYoung]

I was just wondering if there was any way to change the box shape in a diagram to reflect gender, specifically triangles for males and circles for females? I see there is a plug in similar to this using the universal gender icons. Thank you all for your time in answering this. I'm thinking of adding it to the wish list as it would be very useful for users who are creating diagrams for anthropological reports.

No, triangles and circles are not available box shape options.
There are various box shapes, but are all rectangular with different corner shapes.
You can set box background colour, and text colour/font/size, and box shadow, and add icons depending on gender ~ is that not enough?
Why are those shapes important for anthropological research?
The default settings use different colours to indicate gender.

Thanks for your advice Mike, much appreciated. They are standardized shapes for kinship studies (if you're interested http://www.ausanthrop.net/research/kinship/kinship1.php). Mostly I produce reports for consultants and although some enjoy the new reports from FH some will always prefer tradition over change in design. For kinship studies there are benefits for demarcating gender in this way. Thanks again for your help, I don't suppose you could also advise whether this would warrant a suitable request for the wishlist?

You could post a wish list and quote that kinship reference, but it probably won't be high on anyone's priorities.
Also there are difficulties implementing how to fit the text into those shapes.
