Does any of the software out there produce charts

I'm one of those obsessives who collect details of the siblings and children in my tree, which obviously means that any produced chart, if they're all included, comes out the size of a house. One space saving way of presenting this that I have seen on occasion (in books or whatever), is to have the main person in their own box as usual with, instead of all the siblings alongside in a separate box each, the siblings were listed altogether in one sibling box. I know there's loads of different family tree software out there - has anyone seen an example that offers this charting option ? Simon

Simon, Family Tree Maker gives the option to display just the primary individual, or show siblings if you want to. It has several different display options as well. Highly recommended so far as I am concerned. Pauline

Hi Simon, I bought Family Tree Maker so I could do this. I am very impressed with the number of various charts I am now able to produce. Still learning how to sort out the format though! Naomi
