Alternative to Scapple
« on: Saturday 30 October 21 10:48 BST (UK) »
I have read that this is a very good product for drawing a map connecting your different matches together but it is not free. I wondered if anybody has has had success using a free alternative for connecting 15 to 20 closest matches to yourself and to each other.

Did you mean to include a link ?

The dna cousin painter chart is good

Or do you mean something which actually connects to your dna like ancestry thru lines .

I am just looking for a free alternative so that I could draw my 15 closest matches as circles, name them, and connect them appropriately to each other allowing me to then click and drag the circle to tidy it up and make it more More readily understandable.

I am trying to attach a screenshot of a game called untangle, where the object is to to drag the various circles to make it as tidy as possible. This is exactly what I am trying to achieve but I need an alternative to Scapple.
