Some screen shots
The following graphic shows an image (in its own window) ready to be manipulated by the editor. As you can see there are quite a number of toolbars and menus in the editor.
The Code Editor is used in a
number of places throughout the program. In most respects it is similar to the
Text Editor. There is one significant difference - the Code Editor applies a
style to the formatting of the code it is displaying.
The styles of the Biblio Language and Narrative Language are different. These
styles have been chosen to make the code more readable and to provide instant
feedback to your data entry.
The following screen shot shows the editor displaying some Biblio Language code.
Note the keywords in green, strings in blue, and comments in blue italics. The
editor also has a gutter in which line numbers are displayed.
The Configuration Control dialog
is where you manage configurations for various screens and other program setups.
The following screenshot shows Configuration Control when called from the
Repository screen. Note the Preview of the Repository screen and the nice
display of directories available to store or retrieve previously saved
configurations.
Configuration Control enables you to manage your configurations using an
interface you will be familiar with.
The ability to link one GenBase to another is a powerful feature.
The following screenshot shows an individual from the Keipert GenBase having the focus. Thus the Keipert GenBase is the Principal GenBase. His father is in the same GenBase. However his paternal grandparent's are from the Jones GenBase. His mother is in the Keipert GenBase. However his maternal grandparent's are from the Morgan GenBase. (The screenshot has been stylized for clarity.)
Lets take a look at one of the links depicted on the Pedigree View.
The following graphic shows the link between the father Keipert and grandfather Jones. It is an Ancestor Link. (For clarity the graphic shows one link only.)
The following graphic is taken from our Tutorial on how to Link two GenBases. It shows the result of linking Jane Doe in the TestChild GenBase to her father in the TestFather GenBase. Color coding enables you to see at a glance that the two are linked.
The Timelines dialog is used to manage all your timelines. This graphic shows each timeline event from the GENP_Demo timeline painted in green. This graphic shows how the GENP_Demo timeline looks in the test facility.
Timeline data in the test facility which gives you the ability to mix and match various timelines.
There are many Source Types in the system. This graphic shows the Source Type Manager in action.
Here is a view of the Source Type Designer showing how a particular source will appear if it was printed.
