Hello Everyone,

I am trying to construct a pedigree tree/chart out of parents and pedigrees for a number of generations in a plant breeding work. Any ideas how to approach this in filemaker or should it be done in JS? Thanks for any suggestion.

I would definitely use a web viewer for this type of display. You could do it with SVG or HTML 5 Canvas. Or, if you can find an existing Javascript library, then JS (which would then, I imagine, produce either SVG or Canvas result).

Note that for a rudimentary view of a tree hierarchy you could simply use the HTML Unordered List element.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. This is what I thought so I will try to find a JS library. 

How did you go with this Nabil? I'm about to start looking at doing something similar myself.
