===== Tree options =====
On the main ''Tree'' tab there is ''Tree options'' button. 
All tree options are organized in groups on the following tabs:  ''Content'', ''Apearance'' and ''Persons'' in the tree options window. 

===== Contents of the tree =====
On the ''Contents'' tab you can choose the type of relatives that you want in the tree.\\
{{popup> en::tree_options1.png |%Family tree  contents options}}\\
For example, ''Only direct relatives'' allows only direct ancestors and direct descendants of the tree root. The root of the tree can be changed: select another person in the Persons table or in the tree and build a new tree.

When building a tree only on the male line, no descendants of the women are displayed in the tree. Similarly, when building a tree only on the female line, no descendants of men are displayed in the tree.

If the ''Spouses'' option is ticked, in the direct relatives tree you will also see the spouses of your children and other spouses of your ancestors (although they are not your direct relatives). Same about the blood relatives tree: if the ''Spouses'' is ticked, you will see all wives and husbands of your blood relatives although those are not your blood relatives.\\
If you do not want to see any ex-spouses, tick the option ''Do not show ex-spouses''.\\

You can also choose how to see the adopted children and adoptive parents in the tree. If you choose ''No adopted children'', no adopted children are shown in the tree. If you choose ''Adopted children as blood ones'', you will see the descendants of the adopted children in your blood relatives tree.
Same about the adoptive parents. If you choose ''Adoptive parents as blood ones'', in your blood relatives tree  you will see all blood relatives of the adoptive parents. 

You can use the active filters of the Persons table in the tree: tick the option ''Apply active filters of Persons table in the tree''.  The tree will include only the persons who correspond to the active filters of the Persons table. If ''Break at filtered out persons'' is active, the branch of the tree is stopped at the person that does not satisfy the filter condition. If the option is off, the person that does not satisfy the filter condition is shown as a blank square and the branch of the tree continues.

''Title'' is shown above the tree in the chosen font, and ''Caption under the tree'' is shown under the tree, by default the captions font is smaller than title font, you can change the font at ''Appearance'' tab.

If you tick ''Statistics'' and ''Generations statistics'', you will see the family tree statistics under the tree and statistics for each generation on the left from the tree. 

If you want to build a family tree on a separate tab, tick ''Each tree on separate tab''. It can be helpful when you want to compare the two different tree views (with different options, for example, or different backgrounds).

''Auto rebuild'' means  that the changes are shown immediately if they are made in the tree.


===== Family tree appearance =====
''Appearance'' tab contains options to design your family tree chart appearance. The combination of family tree chart appearance settings and of tree nodes contents is called //a tree style//. To save your tree style or to download a tree style (standart, compact, supercompact or your own saved one) click the ''Load style'' or ''Save style'' buttons over the example tree which shows the current style design.
 
In the left upper corner there is a drop-down list where you can choose the direction of branches in the family tree. Descendants can be at the top, at the bottom (vertical family tree), on the left or on the right (horizontal family chart):\\

When the option ''Optimize spouses position'' is ticked, the spouses are located one above the other if it is possible.

When the option ''Mark the deceased'' is ticked,  a black ribbon mark is placed in the top left corner of the nodes of deceased persons.

In complex trees, some branches can not be displayed around the person from which they begin. In these cases, the person and the corresponding branch are transferred left or right from the original location. If the option ''Bring the branches to the nearest side'' is on, then the direction of branches relocation is determined by the distance: the branch is carried to the closer edge of the tree. If this option is disabled, then the branches of the persons belonging to the father's subtree are taken to the left, and the branches of the persons belonging to the mother's subtree are taken to the right.

Distances ''between nodes'' of one branch, ''between branches'' and ''between generations'', and also ''line thickness'' are indicated in pixels.

The lines in the tree can be ''one-color'' or ''multi-colored'',  in the latter case the program automatically sets the colors of the lines so that the neighboring parallel lines are of different colors, this improves the readability of the tree.

A tree can have ''No background'', ''Two-color background'' (two background colors, for even and odd generations) or ''Background image''. 
Follow the instructions on the screenshot to set an image as a background for family tree

You can set ''Title font'' of the tree and ''Captions font'' (the captions under the tree, statistics).

The root of the tree (i.g. the person whose tree is built) is coloured differently when ''Highlight root node'' option is turned on.

===== Persons in the family tree chart =====
This tab provides configuration of family tree chart nodes. In the upper left corner there is a drop-down list that allows you to determine which type of nodes the settings apply to: all tree people, blood relatives of the tree root, to direct relatives of the tree root, to the parents and children of the root or to the root itself:\\

On the ''Data fields'' tab, you can change the list of data fields displayed in the tree chart node. For each field, you can set a word wrap, a bold or italic font, a prefix and a field suffix (for example, parentheses for  life dates), and for which persons this field will be displayed: men or women, living or dead:\\

"ID" field shows the person's id number given by the program.
For the fields ''Relation degree'', ''Marriages'' and ''Comment'' there is an option ''Abbreviate'', it allows to display a short value in this field.

On the ''Graphics'' tab there are settings for the size and color of the tree node, the color and the thickness of the frame of the node: \\
