Chart size and paper size limits in The Master Genealogist (TMG)

Chart Size Limits

There are no known limits on the chart size generated by Visual Chartform (the charting application associated with TMG).
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME have a design problem that limits the maximum dimension to about 8.4m (28ft) before the chart becomes disarranged. This error does not occur when charts are displayed on Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Charts of large number of people or with large image files embedded within them can require a lot of computer time (many minutes to over an hour) to do some operations, like grouping, dragging and global editing.

Paper Size Limits

There are no page size limits on the charts that can be printed from Visual Chartform.
All limits are determined by the printing equipment and its driving software.
The SCEYA page size limit for printing charts from TMG is 14.9m (49ft) - the limit of the Hewlett-Packard driver of our printer.
