An Ancestor Diagram (known on some other programs as a pedigree chart, especially when shown in a left to right format) shows the ancestors of a selected Individual person or Family couple known as the Diagram RootAll Diagrams have a root. This is the person from which the diagram “spreads out”; in the standard diagram preferences the root box is shown in a different colour from other boxes..
In 1st example below the Individual is Ian Stephen MUNRO shown with the default white box background.
In 2nd example the Family is Ian Stephen MUNRO & Charlotte CARRINGTON both with white box background.
