π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
The program converts a comma separated input_file into a TeX file with pst-pdgr macros. that's it, that's the whole vibe. csv in, gorgeous TeX out, no cap. β¨
π OPTIONS π
-c configuration_fileβ the configuration file to read along with the system-wide and user's configuration files. yes, she reads all three. queen of multitasking. π-dβ debug mode on. turn this on when you wanna see behind the curtain. π«£-o -output_fileβ the output file, instead ofinput_file.tex. like, instead of defaulting to the obvious name, you get to name it yourself. main character energy fr. π-s -start_idβ if this option is selected, the pedigree is constructed starting from the node with the Idi<start_id>. otherwise it is started from the proband node.
this option allows to create pedigrees with multiple probands or absent probands, or show people who are not proband's relatives. so like... the family tree can start wherever you want, and it can include the random cousins nobody talks about. iconic honestly. π

π FILES π
/etc/pedigree.cfgβ global configuration file π$HOME/.pedigreercβ user configuration file π
