What is the Fancy Tree?

[emyoulation]

I'd like to expand wiki article on the Interactive Family Tree add-on for Gramps that feeds the Topola Genealogy Viewer. One of the View options is "Fancy Tree (Experimental)". Is there a basic description of the intent of this view variant?

The "Fancy Tree" is a view inspired by this graphic: https://imgur.com/a/T02Kc7X

I never made it fully work, so it ended up in this "experimental" state. Nonetheless, I find it amusing for some family trees.

Thanks for the reply. Did some tweaks to your addon's wiki page.

Was wondering if you could take a look at the 3rd party Dashboard Gramplet by the Isotammi project? They took a different approach to a javascript and local server based graphing solution in Gramps.
Kari's Deep Connections Graph does a simple diagram of the connection between 2 persons in the Tree.

They left MUCH more of the local server control complexity visible in the Gramplet. (A bit TOO much.) And it is a weird place for it in the GUI.

PS. I find the current GUI location of the "Interactive Family Tree" (under the Tools -> Analysis and Exploration) is not intuitive. There are similar interactive browser-based functionalities under the "Reports -> Web Pages".

Do you think your interactive viewer could live in Reports rather than Tools?
