Re: Advice on making a table

You should probably try out Christopher Horn's experimental LinkedView add-on. (Currently a new View rather than an add-on view mode of the People or Family views.)


The Timeline panel he has created (when the active record is a "Person" object) may offer the functionality you want...  although not in the exportable form you've mentioned. It is highly (possibly overwhelmingly) configurable. 

The add-on is in beta test status. Please only do experiments on trees that have been backed-up. Feedback has been requested.

Worst case (since you have programming background), you can fork his repository and leverage module code for your own variation.

to see how and when they interact to form a family, and in some case, to 
dismantle a family.

I have done this manually for selected People, but it is tedious and 
prone to errors. Realistically, It should be automated, because it would 
be necessary to rebuild a table multiple times until it comes right. I 
suppose the output could be a Text Report, a file that could be imported 
into a spreadsheet (although I tend to eschew spreadsheets if I can), or 
both.

So, my question is whether there is a way do accomplish this using 
Gramps? I'm not shy about programming and  know a bit of python and C++.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Stay safe,
John
