I want to see which ancestors I have identified and which ones are still missing in a 2D format. By transferring information person-by-person from my tree (which is in pages format). Thus building “strings” of black dots on a white background - one “string” for each branch. It could be a manual procedure or smart by searching he document at hand. The ancestors are named using Kekule´s system: generation (level) 1 denoted by “2” and “3” where “2” is father and “3” is mother - “4” is father´s father, “5” is father´s mother, “6” is mother´s father, “7” is mother´s mother, etcetera back through the generations. The 10th generation will have 2^10 = 1024 possible dots. So I want one dot for each of these numbers, built up level by level from the bottom up. The size of the dots must be customizable for readability. I have an A3 paper size printer which I will use for output.
