These are used primarily with the printed version of the Chart Pages. In the Main Chart Page is a section titled: “Printing and Assembling the Chart”. This gives instructions for the generation of a “wall” chart of offspring. With a printed chart there are no links and the vertical lines aid in following a family line over page/section boundries. The so-called “blobs” represent a “pipeline” and is used when there are an excess of vertical lines necessary. All of the vertical lines are considered “bundled” inside of the pipeline. For more information on this subject, see that section on the Main Chart Page.
