FamilyWheel

A couple of weeks ago I came across Family Wheel, Buck DeFore’s ActionScript-based genealogy app:

FamilyWheel

You can read more about it on the project page. Quite an interesting visualization technique (meaning, as the main “pedigree” of the app; circle charts have been around for ages, but they’ve always been something you printed, not something you worked on directly). The app is fairly simple, too, which is nice.

I am trying to view the Family Wheel. I only get half of the wheel the other half is to the left of my brouser.

Nothing I do seems to work. I am using a dual monitor setup could this be the problem?

Good question. When you say “to the left of my browser,” do you mean it’s actually outside the browser window? I don’t see how the dual-monitor setup would make a difference, but try disconnecting one of them to see if it’s the problem. And if that doesn’t work, e-mail Buck and see if he has any idea. :)

Throw in your two cents
