Is there an option somewhere to print the First Ancestor Chart?

Thanks

    At the present time, there does not appear to be an option to print a first ancestor chart. I will investigate further and post if I am able to find a solution.

    The new feature to view ancestors starting from one first ancestor couple expanding down the posterity line is wonderful. When will a print option be introduced in both portrait and landscape?

    That would be a great feature!

    Currently a workaround is to use Firefox screenshot: the only problem is that it only captures a portion of the page. To get around this limitation you can use the responsive mode to create a screen with custom dimensions (like explained here https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/full-page-screen-shot-isnt-full-page/16940/15).

    @Maile L, I thought the Tree Pedigree Views group -- and the updates/changes -- were only about the two pedigree charts (landscape and portrait)? Those are certainly the only chart/tree views that have two versions currently.

    I'm not entirely clear on what the "first ancestor" chart is supposed to do, but it seems to me to be a portrait-oriented version of a specific ancestor's descendancy chart. It's not exactly well-suited to printing, especially if there are a dozen children in a family -- but the Descendancy chart contains the same information, and it is eminently suited to printing using your browser's Print function. So if I'm right about what a first ancestor chart actually is, then a workaround to its missing "print" function is to just go to the first ancestor and print his descendancy chart instead.
