How branches are classified
TreeLine builds the mainline by finding the shortest path between your
protagonists and then adding all ancestors of people on that path.
| Tier | Who | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| Mainline | Protagonists and their direct ancestors | Highlighted |
| Immediate | Spouses and siblings of mainline people | Distinct colour |
| Branch | Everyone else, grouped by their immediate-family root | Unique colour per branch |
Separation distance
The s number on each badge is the number of family-link steps from the
mainline (0 = mainline, 1 = immediate, 2+ = further out). The g number
is the generation.
Using the legend
Click any group in the legend to select all people in that branch. This is
useful for pruning or moving entire branches at once.
