Conditional diagram elements ?

Is it possible to use a flag to affect the style of a box or line in a diagram - if not is there a workaround at all ?

I was thinking you might have a flag called 'Tenuous', which you could set if you have discovered something questionable about one of the details of a person and clear after you have resolved the issue.

If you could then have a diagram that shows these people, but draws them in (say) a dotted red box, it would emphasise to the user that a particular person is 'under review'.

I avoid adding people to my GEDCOM until I am sure they existed, but sometimes I am not certain of some of their details, but it is still very useful to have them shown in diagrams even if just as a placeholder until more data comes to light.

Cheers,
Geoff.

Yes, just add a condition on the Boxes tab and change what you want box colour, border etc, it's exactly the same as adding an icon to the diagram.

Thanks Jane - DOH! It's obvious now.
FH is a very, very adaptable piece of software.
