How well does graphviz handle your trees?
- vidarh 11y agoHere's an example of part of my family tree with Graphviz [1] (using dot layout), and here's one with all my known ancestors [2] (using neato). A reasonably small subset works ok with dot (e.g. note that the first example excludes all siblings for example).

- rch 11y agoI see what you mean. Try grouping siblings into subgraphs, and adjusting the length of edges between generations to approximate shells. You might try NetworkX as well. I don't think it offers a better layout engine for you, but it supports graphviz and is awfully convenient for working with the graph itself.
