There is actually a chart in Legacy Charting that possibly does what you 
want. Have you tried the “Family” chart located among the Hour Glass and Bow 
Tie options? Select a parent as the starting person and their children will 
be displayed.

TreeDraw allows you to import multiple charts and combine them into a
single display. It takes a fair bit of editing to format the chart and
get a good looking display but you can do a lot more with combined
charts than with Legacy Charting.

Back in 2005/2006 I built a combination chart using TreeDraw starting
with the Descendants of my Maternal Grandparents then imported the
ancestors of each Grandparent to make a kind of hour glass chart. Worked
on it for 6 months or more both to get the layout correct and to
incorporate changes I got from the people in the chart during the project.

Had it printed on banner grade paper 36 in wide and close to 8 feet long
for a family reunion that year. It was very well received by the attendees.

Perhaps there are Legacy users who are experienced in using the Legacy
add-on called TreeDraw, who can tell you if that software can do what
you want.

You could enter a fake child for the mother and father with a given name
of “Joe & Mary”. Depending on the chart, you may have to play around
with the appearance options to get something that works for you. After
you’ve created the chart, be sure to eliminate the fake child.

How can I get a brother and sister of the same family as a starting point?
