The charting services of SCEYA can create charts from a GEDCOM file or FTM data set that you may not have thought possible. SCEYA may import your data into another package to produce the desired chart. (NOTE: The GEDCOM method may lose vital data in the process.)

Examine the styles of standard charts available here.

• Chart size and printing limits
  Just because you can see a FTM chart on a computer screen, that does not mean that it can be printed correctly on a custom page size. FTM has poor control and use of "custom page size" in wide format printers. This leads to limitations on the size of chart that can be produced without some corruption. The introduction of the PDF output option within FTM has imposed other limits on the maximum page size that can be specified for normal wide format printing.
