Navigating the family tree

Pinch, drag, tap. The Tree tab is the canvas where your Rootkin™ family lives.

Walkthrough

  1. Open the Tree tab. The default view is the diagram — generations stacked top to bottom, spouses next to each other.
  2. Pinch to zoom, drag to pan. The view remembers where you were the next time you come back.
  3. Single-tap a person's portrait to open their profile.
  4. Long-press a portrait to get the quick-add strip: + Parent, + Spouse, + Child, + Sibling. You can build out the chart without ever leaving the canvas.
  5. Switch between Diagram and Outline at the top of the screen. Outline is an indented list with rounded connectors — useful for very wide families that don't fit comfortably in the diagram view.
  6. Center parents over children is a Settings toggle (off by default) that gives the diagram a more symmetric layout. Worth a try if your tree feels lopsided.
