Overview
A Relationship chart is a User Item that creates a chart that shows how two people are related. You specify the subjects of the chart and Second Site finds the lineage between them and shows each relative in that lineage.
If one person is an ancestor of the other, the chart will have a single column of boxes, with each row representing a generation between the ancestor and the descendant. If neither person is an ancestor of the other, then the chart will show lines of descent from their nearest common ancestor. See the example charts.
For people in the chart who have a person page entry, the chart entry links to the person page entry and vice-versa.
Please note that Second Site charts are designed for modern browsers. Browsers must be compliant with the CSS1 specification in order to display the charts properly. Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 1.0+, and Netscape 6+ will give very good results. Please see the Browser Support page for more information.
Chart colors are determined by the Theme but can be changed by the user via the properties in the Stylesheets.Theme.Chart section. Other stylesheet options are controlled via the chart-related styles in the Stylesheet.System section.
