Genetic Pedigree Chart Generator

How to Use This Tool:

This tool helps visualize family relationships in a simplified genetic pedigree chart. Enter each individual on a new line in the text area, following this format:

ID,Name,Sex(M/F),Affected(true/false),FatherID,MotherID

  • ID: A unique identifier for the individual (e.g., I-1, II-2).
  • Name: The individual's name (optional, but helpful for clarity).
  • Sex: 'M' for Male (square) or 'F' for Female (circle).
  • Affected: 'true' if the individual is affected by a trait/disease (filled symbol), 'false' otherwise (unfilled symbol).
  • FatherID, MotherID: The IDs of their parents. Leave blank (or use empty string `,,`) if unknown or if they are founders.

Example Data:

I-1,Arthur,M,false,,
I-2,Bertha,F,false,,
II-1,Charles,M,true,I-1,I-2
II-2,Diana,F,false,I-1,I-2
III-1,Eve,F,true,II-1,II-2
III-2,Frank,M,false,II-1,II-2
IV-1,Grace,F,false,III-1,III-2

After entering your data, click "Generate Chart". The tool will attempt to lay out the individuals by generation and draw basic parent-child connections.
