Getting Started

Pedigree Windows

When you first start BMDPedFW, the program opens with the MainWindow showing a single  pedigree of the last dog previously used by the program:  

TinyInfo

The TinyInfo window in the upper left corner of a pedigree shows basic information about the root dog.  If it is obstructing a name in the pedigree, it can be clicked (or right-clicked) to Shrink/Expand it.  

As the cursor passes over any line in the TinyInfo window, any truncated details are expanded in the status bar.

Images

If a thumbnail picture of the root-dog appears, double click it to see a larger image as well as any other images available of that dog.

The "Hand" symbols in the lower left corner will illuminate if more pictures of this dog are available.  Click on the hands to sequence through the pictures.  You can drag out the corner to any size you want, or maximize it to full screen. 

The button in the lower right corner selects from a series of different picture frames.
