Abstract
Large, complex pedigrees of animals and plants group individuals for improved visualization. A computer transforms data from each mating to display nodes having separate symbols only for groups of offspring having common sex and/or traits. Pedigrees can include complex breeding structures. Input parameters select particular individuals, grouping, and formatting, including visual properties such as colors for distinguishing various aspects of a pedigree. Layout includes curved as well as straight lines.
