This example demonstrates the power of wgraph in combination with

  1. mediawiki templates
  2. the Dynamic Page List extension (DPL).

We will guide you through a series of steps where a small genealogy tree is built.

We start with a straight forward approach and show how a very high level of abstraction can be reached.

Please go carefully through each step to understand the architecture of the final result.


First we define a small genealogy tree directly in WGL

  • We concentrate on the semantics
  • We do not use any coordinates or size attributes for the shapes
  • we use nodetypes (male, female, info) to share common properties
  • we use edgetypes (mother, father, married to, info) for the same purpose
  • we mark undefined nodes in a special way

Thus we reach a fair level of abstraction.
