Alignment

Why is it so hard to align things when making charts? I spent an hour making this simple chart:

Family tree of monarchs of the Salian Franks

Merovech
411–458
450–458

Childeric I
437–481
458–481

Basina of
Thuringia
438–477

Evochildis
of Cologne

Clovis I
466–511
481–509

Clotilde
474–545

3 others

Theuderic I
487–534

Chlodomer
495–524

Childebert I
496–558

Chlothar I
497–561

Please help because my brain starts hurting when I try to continue this tree. Doctor Alex (talk · contributions · sandbox) 16:49, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Doctor Alex: yep, this template is a bit of a nightmare to edit! Have you tried User:Daduxing/familytree.js? It adds an option to the toolbox menu when you're editing a page with this template, which allows you to convert it to a more easily editable form, and then another option to convert it back when you're ready to save your edits. --Yodin^T 12:23, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have not tried that.

Instead I've made my brain hurt more by almost finishing that family tree up to Theuderic IV, Carloman I, and Charlemagne. Thank you for the suggestoion.

Dark mode support

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Implement changes in Module:Tree chart/sandbox and Module:Tree chart/data/sandbox, which remove the explicitly-defined black color to provide support for dark mode. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 13:39, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colored and Thicker Tiles?

Just out of curiosity, but is there a way to implement colors for the lines that connect the boxes? Additionally, is there also a way to increase the thickness of the lines so that the color is more obvious? I want to use colors in addition to the dotted and dashed lines to further designate more relations and make said lines more visible in the page. Thanks in advance.

Not at the moment; I think it would be difficult to ensure this was accessible e.g. for people using screen readers, etc. If you're using colours for the cells make sure to read MOS:COLOUR too. --Yodin^T 13:03, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh, I see. Gotcha, thanks a lot! Lafuente Philosophy (talk) 05:16, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance required

Hello! I've just created this template (and sub templates) on the Welsh Wikipedia but it doesn't show (see cy:Dôn#Llys_Dôn which should have a family tree in it like the English en:Dôn#The_House_of_Dôn). I've copied and pasted exactly the English over so that we don't need to fuss around with translating, but I'm at a loss as to why it's not working :( Here they are:

cy:Nodyn:Tree chart, cy:Nodyn:Tree chart/start, cy:Nodyn:Tree chart/end

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much, Xxglennxx (talk) 15:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry! Apparently someone had already made it without linking it to the en wiki! Xxglennxx (talk) 16:37, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please review my chart

My first ever attempt at using this is at Margaret Sibella Brown#Family and early life. I'd appreciate any feedback about what could be improved. RoySmith (talk) 13:37, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
