Ìwé-alàyé àdàkọ[ìwò] [àtúnṣe] [ìtàn] [ìfọnù]

This àdàkọ employs intricate features of template syntax.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either , the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

This is a template for rendering simple diagrams consisting of boxes and connecting lines based loosely on an ASCII art-like syntax. The trees are displayed as HTML tables using CSS attributes, and may contain arbitrary wiki markup within the boxes. This implementation was based on the {{familytree}} template.

Example usage

This code:

{{chart/start}}
{{chart| | | | GrMa |~|y|~| GRP | | GrMa=Grandma|GRP=Grandpa}}
{{chart| | | | | | | |)|-|-|-|.| }}
{{chart| | | MOM |y| DAD | |DAISY| MOM=Mom|DAD=Dad|DAISY=[[Aunt Daisy]]}}
{{chart| |,|-|-|-|+|-|-|-|.| | | }}
{{chart| JOE | | ME  | | SIS | | | JOE=My brother Joe|ME='''Me!'''|SIS=My little sister}}
{{chart/end}}

Parameters

This template produces one row in a family tree table. The template accepts up to 50 unnamed parameters describing the contents of the table. Each parameter specifies a tile or a box.

Tiles are line drawing symbols consisting of horizontal and vertical lines and various corners and crossings thereof. Tiles are specified using one- or two-character symbols: for the most common tiles, that character is more or less approximate the shape of the tile in appearance. A special case of a tile is the empty tile, specified by a single space character. A table of available tiles is given below.

Boxes can contain arbitrary wiki markup. The content of each box is specified using additional named parameters appended to the template call. Each box is three tiles wide and normally has a black border two pixels wide. Boxes can have any name that is a valid template parameter name, subject to a minimum of two alphabetical characters.

Style attributes

The appearance of the boxes may be controlled by the following optional template parameters:

border specifies the width of the box border in pixels,
boxstyle can be used to append arbitrary CSS declarations directly to the box style attributes.

For example, the following code:

{{chart/start}}
{{chart|border=0|boxstyle=background:#dfd;| | FOO |y| BAR | |FOO=Box 1|BAR=Box 2}}
{{chart|border=0|boxstyle=background:#dfd;| | |,|-|^|-|.| | }}
{{chart|border=0|boxstyle=background:#dfd;| | FOO | | BAR | |FOO=Box 3|BAR=Box 4}}
{{chart/end}}

produces this chart:

Style attributes can even be set for individual boxes, as in the example below:

{{chart/start}}
{{chart| | | | |CLEAR| | | | |CLEAR=Clear box}}
{{chart| |,|-|-|'|!|`|-|-|.| }}
{{chart|RED  |~|GREEN|~|BLUE |RED=Red box|GREEN=Green box|BLUE=Blue box
|boxstyle_RED  =background-color: #faa;
|boxstyle_GREEN=background-color: #afa;
|boxstyle_BLUE =background-color: #aaf;
}}
{{chart/end}}

which produces this:

NOTE: When specifying style attributes for individual named boxes, make sure the box names are aligned to the left side of the area reserved for them in the template call (as in "|RED |" instead of "| RED |" in the example above), otherwise the template will end up looking for a style parameter with spaces in its name.

The {{chart/start}} template also accepts an optional style parameter that can be used to set CSS styles for the entire diagram.

Migration from familytree

The {{chart}} template is largely compatible with the earlier {{familytree}} template. However, to use the additional functionality offered with this template, diagrams must be updated to use {{chart}} instead. Many {{familytree}} diagrams can be altered to use {{chart}} and its sub-templates simply by replacing the wikitext familytree with chart. A few of the "mixed" tiles had to be renamed, and {{familytree}} diagrams using these tiles will have to make a few changes. Additionally, two new "mixed" tiles have been added, joining solid lines to dashed lines. The following table summarises the differences:

Lastly, if any uses of the {{familytree}} template end with |}}, that vertical bar should be removed, leaving the last cell in that row containing either some text or a space.

The familytree.js tool below can be used to convert between syntaxes. Just change the start tag when in edit view, then click "Art → Templates" to toggle back to wikitext view. The other templates will be updated to match.

Errors

Template:Chart/cellb will be caused by any instance of |}} change this to }}

Template:Chart/celltTemplate:Chart/cellb will be caused by any instance of || change this to | |
