TreeDraw helps you create high quality family tree drop-line charts from existing data stored in Kith and Kin Pro or other GEDCOM-capable genealogy programs.

TreeDraw is a graphics utility for producing high quality genealogy charts. Family trees are imported into TreeDraw from "Kith and Kin Pro" databases or from GEDCOM files produced by other genealogy programs. After importing the tree data, you can re-arrange the tree and add extra text and graphics before storing, printing or creating a PDF file.

With TreeDraw it is easy to produce perfectly laid out charts and incorporate pictures, clip-art and other simple graphics. You have control over which data TreeDraw imports and how it formats it, so charts may be as complex or as simple as you wish.

By importing a combination of descendant and ancestral trees from one or more data files, it is possible to build complex charts which can extend in any direction.

TreeDraw maintains a link between each chart text element and the source field in the original Kith and Kin Pro database. This means that you can update each text element automatically to mirror any changes in the original data. The tree link for each text element can also be modified manually. This is a powerful feature which gives you control over the content and format of the text in the chart.

Additional text elements may be entered manually to provide titles, headings, comments, etc.

As well as text, you can place into the chart simple graphics (lines, boxes, circles) and images like pictures, clip-art, diagrams, etc.

TreeDraw lets you control the size, shape, style, colour and alignment of all chart elements and supports colour printing.

You can export your chart as an Adobe PDF file which can be viewed on any PC with the Acrobat Reader.

Once imported you can rearrange your chart, add pictures, graphics and extra text, combine multiple trees in the same chart. Options allow you to control which data to import and how it is laid out.
