Hi, I'm trying to create a data visualization of a family tree. I've got the information stored in a gencom file which is a simple text file with meta data that connects the different people. I was wondering if anyone knew of a library in Processing that can handle a gencom type file. Another option is also a Processing library that can use a C library, because I've been able to find a C library that can work with this file type.
Any help would be appreciated!

If you got the C library's source code, you might attempt to convert it to Java! O:-)
Java has some obscure ways to call so-called
native
methods. But I've got no much idea how that works! :-??P.S.: Found these 2 links. It's a start at least...

"I was wondering if anyone knew of a library in Processing that can handle a gencom type file."
Hint: search for a Java library instead.
Thanks, I'll try these out!
