A Random Family Tree Generator and Vizualizer

• Note that the visualization portion of this project is taken from Adrien Verge's familytreemaker repo (https://github.com/adrienverge/familytreemaker). Many thanks.

Installation:

• Clone the repo

Instructions:

• In the src directory modify the input.yaml file with chosen attributes for a starting couple, which is formatted below.

num_years: <duration of the simulation>
start_year: <starting year for the simulation>
father: [<first name>, <last name>, <age at start_year>, <birth date>]
mother: [<first name>, <last name>, <age at start_year>, <birth date>]

• In the src directory, run the command python3 runner.py. This creates a .txt file representation of the family tree (family_tree.txt), as well as a (family_tree.png) file image of the family tree. The tree looks like:

and the text representation looks like:
