OFB Color/Font Management
|
|
The program (OFB-ColorFont.exe) is used to create and manage
color and font definitions and the related files (ocf-files) for a
screen output of the OFB lists. The printer output
will always be in black and white.
By a color dialog screen the various colors can be defined easily
and a font dialog allows the definition of font names, size and style.
In addition the color of the genealogy symbols may be defined.
See the user guide for further details.
Gedcom Profile Management
|
|
The program (OFB-GedcomProfil.exe) is used to create and manage the
different Gedcom profiles and the related profile files (ogp-files) of the
OFB. These Profile files are storing the rules for the transition of the
genealogical data of the ged-files to the OFB. During importing of the
ged-file by the OFB the data will be interpreted and transferred
accordingly. Without such profile files the OFB can't process the genealogy
data.
The Gedcom subject is a complex item. Therefor a base knowledge to a
certain extent is required to use the program.
The OFB is based on the definitions of the Gedcom specification 5.5.
In addition most parts of the Draft Specification 5.5.1 and 5.5-EL are implemented.
A detailled description of the Gedcom topic and of the Gedcom tags
managed by the OFB is available at the OFB Service Program User guide, chapter profile management.
