"Family
Ties" utilizes an extremely flexible concept when it comes to data
output. Every user can create his or her own presentation of data,
based on a set of templates. These templates have been made available
by users and can be downloaded here. But you can also create your own
templates according to your own ideas and preferences.
The
files you download from here are only for use in "Family Ties". No use outside of this software, such as in text or image editors, is not possible and could harm your software.
The files contain collections of commands which "Family Ties" uses to create the presentation shown.
Templates are available for the following sections:
- Print templates for output directly to a printer, or to be saved as an image
- Text/Excel templates create text or spreadsheet files (eg, .rtf or .xls)
- HTML-templates create web pages
- Othet templates create whatever does not fall under above categories, eg, data for Google Earth or calendar programs)
If you create your own templates, feel free to make them available for the other users.
I
just aks you to submit your templates including a readme-file (in .txt,
.html or -pdf-form) describing your template, and basic instructions
for input and possible alternatives. If you provide your name and email
address, users could contact you if they find bugs or have questions.
For
publication of your template on the "Family Ties" homepage, please also provide an image of the output, or a screenshot.
If
you find this too much work, you could send me your template as is.
This will casuse a delay in its publication, because I will need to
prepare to familiarize myself with your template and write the
accompanying files.
So
many templates, and still none for your purposes?
No
problem. "Family Ties" is really flexible and lets you create a
template of your own, for exactly your needs and preferences.
All
types of templates can be self-created: for printing, for web
publication, for text output... simply whatever you can think of.
"Family Ties" provides you with all tools for a flexible output. You do
not have to know about programming. Its clear and concise instructions
will get you the desired results almost in no time.
