Purpose

The main goal of the gtrlib.largetrees package is to offer additional database fields and formats for the genealogytree package, particularly for typesetting large trees. This package is the side product of typesetting an actual genealogy tree with almost 400 persons on 16 levels and on a DIN-A0 poster.

Availability

The gtrlib.largetrees package is on github.

• Makefile
• gtrlib.largetrees.pdf (generated from gtrlib.largetrees.dtx)
• gtrlib.largetrees.sty (generated from gtrlib.largetrees.dtx)
• gtrlib.largetrees.code.tex (generated from gtrlib.largetrees.dtx)

To install the gtrlib.largetrees package, you additionally need

• docstrip.tex

To build the package (gtrlib.largetrees.sty) as well as the library for the genealogytree package (gtrlib.largetrees.code.tex), run one of the following

    latex gtrlib.largetrees.ins

Put the resulting gtrlib.largetrees.sty and gtrlib.largetrees.code.tex somewhere where LaTeX can find it. Read the documentation of your LaTeX system to find out where this might be.
