Charting Companion shows Family Tree Maker 2017, 2019 colors in charts

Published on: 20 August 2017

The new 2019 edition of Family Tree Maker introduces exciting features, including the option to assign up to four colors to people in your family tree. You can color each branch of your ancestors, or lines of descendants, or by place of origin.

FTM 2019 was released last month.

Charting Companion fully supports the display of the FTM colors, in the Ancestor, Descendant, Hourglass, Bowtie, Fractal, Dandelion and Fan charts. Only Charting Companion can offer you complete display of your FTM colors.

Color coding charts by place of origin is the main feature I was looking for when I bought Charting Companion. I've only spent a little time with it at this point but it wasn't obvious how to do it. What am I missing?

Great features – I would buy your software in a minute if you had a Mac version!

It is possible to create a custom event called "COLOR", and define text and fill colors in the event description. This will enable you to assign colors to people, based on place of origin.

Charting Companion's "COLOR" event includes 16M different colors, not just the eight colors to which FTM limits you.
