Charting Options V4

Post by gbest »

I've been looking for replacement FH software for a couple of years.  Last time I looked at FH its charting options did not excite me much (so I did not buy).

I see V4 charts are going to be rather special (but I can't find any details).

I particularly want a vertical descendant chart, with progenitor in the TOP left hand corner, with first generation descendants in a separate column to the right, and following generations in separate (not overlapping) columns.  Box width and font size needs to be customisable so I can fit whatever number of generations onto a portrait or landscaped A4 page, or pages.

Am I going to be pleasantly surprised by V4 -- enough to think about buying it?

I look forward to a good answer

V3 can already do left to right descendant diagrams and you can control the box sizes. Why not download the V3 demo and try it.

The only thing I have not tried is to get the root person to the Top corner, though I suspect it's possible with use of the box moving tools.
