Make Fan Chart configurable for display of more generations 10+

The fan chart display is the most comprehensive way to show the ancestry. I like it extremely.

Issue: Having pedigrees with 10+ generations the current maximum of 7 +1 (the children) generations is often to restrictive for a one page only overview / plot an A3 or A2.

Proposal: As the PDF output quality respective online zoom allows to see sufficient details, it would be "perfect" if I could configure also the number of generations from 7 to 10.

Hope your programmers can implement this in a new version :-)

Many thanks in advance

    I Agree. More visible generations should be added

    The problem is the physical limit to the spacing, as you reach the outer rings. notice how the fan chart shows you less information the more generations you go out. How would you display the information in a box half the size of the current last generation? 🤷‍♂️
