* Including age (in years) in a diagram box

[londonscorpion]

Is it possible to report the age of an individual at the date of an event into a diagram text box . This might appear as e.g. "Died 1787 aged 42". I cannot find any variable which allows this.

Do you want the computed age or the recorded age?

[londonscorpion]

The computed age if no recorded age is there.

[Jane]

Have you tried the standard
%INDI.DEAT[1+].DATE:AGE_AT%

Remember you can pick this up by simply adding a new Death line and selecting the Age option in the prompt.

Are you comfortable with customising Diagram Text Schemes via the Diagram >Options > Text tab?
If not, then that advice form Jane may not mean much, so please ask for more guidance.

It may be better to use DEAT[1] instead of DEAT[1+] looping index, depending the rest of the Template.

FYI:
Explicitly recorded Age use the AGE tag %INDI.DEAT.AGE%
There is also the =AgeAt(...) function as an alternative to the :AGE_AT qualifier.
e.g. =AgeAt( %INDI%, %INDI.DEAT.DATE% )
The biggest difference is that the :AGE_AT qualifier only works for simple single Dates, whereas the =AgeAt(...) function also works for Date Ranges/Periods such as Between 1 Feb 1900 and 20 Mar 1901 or Q1 1900.
