Our local shop Postal Connections (it's a franchise, so they are
everywhere) can print anything up to 3 ft wide and as long as you want.
I have printed a large chart with them. Be sure to check your local shop
to see the file formats they can deal with. I exported as a PDF and had
no problems.

Dear Stan,
Now that's one big family! Thanks for the information. It's
interesting that you used the Legacy charting instead of TreeDraw. I
also produced the Legacy chart, which spans several pages, but the
customer for whom I'm doing this work wants the 5 generations, with
tons of offspring, on one page -- now that's a problem that I'll
figure out one way or another.
Thanks again for replying.

Hi Shirley
I have a family tree that covers 14 generations and over 5000
names. I have TreeDraw but I recently used the charting within
Legacy to produce the family tree with all names including spouses
on it for a family reunion. All on one chart in 8pt font spreading
many metres around 3 walls of a large hall. I thought it better
than charts I could get out of TreeDraw for the purpose
We also used some nice charts from TreeDraw I should add
Its horses for courses
Cheers Stan

Hi R G,
Thanks for replying. I'm working on five generations, but I think
I'll buy the TreeDraw Legacy program to ensure that an attractive
chart can be made.

Shirley,
How many individuals and generations are you talking about
that you want to chart?

Hi Leon,
Thank you for your advice. I tried the Legacy Charting
options, but for some reason only the current record names
appear. The only chart that works with all records is the
Descendant chart under Chart Reports, which appearance is not
what I'm looking for. I think I might have to buy TreeDraw
Legacy for all the entries to appear properly. You say that
none of the chart programs work well, so I'm a bit confused.
In my online search, the solution that was shown was the
TreeDraw program, in which one could format the lines, fonts,
colours, etc. once it imports the data from Legacy. If you
have a chance, I'd appreciate your feedback on this.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

I think you are asking for something that you won't like
if you had it. My experience with any of the charting
programs, you will only be able to use maybe 4-5
generations and beyond that you are creating such a large
chart, you can't see or print it on any reasonable size of
paper or poster.
I have about 40,000 people in my database and anything
over about 4-5 generations is too large to use. Some of my
families go back 15-20 generations. In Legacy, you can
create a chart of Fathers only that would span that many
generations.
In Legacy, use the Legacy Charting icon to the right of
the Internet icon and you can plot lots of different
charts. I would suggest you try some of those before
purchasing other software.
In some of my testing of Legacy Charting, I have created
charts of over 100 generations. The problem is, you cannot
print that size of chart - it is just a paper generator.
If you only have a few people in your database with only
3-4 generations, then you could chart something useful to
be printed.
Anyway, just my thoughts, you won't be happy with what you
are asking for.

Hi Evelyn,
I have chart reports and other reports, but there are
no options for either. Thanks for getting back to me.

I just purchased Legacy, and it seems that I
can't make a chart of all family members in
one chart. I checked online, and I found that
if I buy TreeDraw Legacy, I could use that for
all the info in the Legacy data base. It seems
like a waste of money for a genealogy program
to not have the option to view the complete
family tree. Any ideas or advice are welcome.
