Javascript / PHP Family Tree Builder with Multiple Parents

Is there any existing PHP, Javascript, or even a command line tool that can build a family tree in HTML (preferably) or at least create an image for it? Requirements for multiple parents. I work on the Internet for several hours, but to no avail.

For example, the Google Organization Chart would be ideal, but it only allows each node to have at most one parent. I need two parents.

No matter what this website does, it will also be ideal: http://www.familyecho.com/ , but it does not seem to be done with javascript, and they do not publish code that actually creates the visualization.

Even connecting to an external website to use their APIs to create visualizations would be ideal.

As with the JavaScript you use (I assume that since you are developing your own schema ...), the InfoVis framework provides all kinds of complex relationships - http://thejit.org/static/v20/Jit/Examples/ ForceDirected / example1.html .

You might be interested in Raphaël , especially this demo .



Edit: I just met a couple of other promising options for this question .

  • Protovis - I knew about it when I first answered, but did not think about it at that time. It is very flexible. Check out the examples .
  • Dracula Graph - did not try. It may be too easy for your purposes.

This is possible with Graphviz . It is a language (easy to learn) and an executable command line file (for Linux, Solaris, Windows, and Mac) that can export at least PNG and SVG. He is extremely flexible and can do family trees. I believe that several parents are not a problem. For example, consider http://www.graphviz.org/content/kennedyanc . See Other Examples: http://www.graphviz.org/Gallery.php

You will probably find several other uses for Graphviz yourself.

The Echo Family now has an API , allowing you to generate a family tree in GEDCOM or FamilyScript format and view it online through the Family Echo Site.
