TreeDraw is a genealogy program for computers running Microsoft Windows.[2] The program is a chart editor which aids family historians in creating and printing family trees. Developed by SpanSoft, Scotland, the software is distributed as shareware with a free trial period.[3]

Features

TreeDraw is essentially a vector graphics editor which creates various styles of family tree charts[4] using data imported from external sources such as GEDCOM files or Kith and Kin Pro databases.[5] The program allows user manipulation of the imported charts using features common to most drawing programs such as element repositioning and scaling.[5]

File formats

The program stores data in .TDR (TreeDraw chart) files, TreeDraw's native format. A freeware .TDR file viewer is available.[6] TreeDraw will import data from GEDCOM files or from Kith and Kin Pro databases.[3] The program also exports Adobe PDF files.[3]

History

The program was first developed by Nick Hunter as a Windows 3.1 program and released as shareware in 1994. In 2001 the first TreeDraw Legacy Edition was released, a special edition of the program which imports data directly from Legacy Family Tree data files.[7]
