Switch to the fan chart
Choose Fan chart in the menu beside your tree (on a phone, open the menu first). The person in the centre is the chart's focus; search or tap a name to change it.
The tools sit in one bar along the bottom of the chart: zoom, fit to screen, find a person, and chart settings.
In chart settings, choose Ancestors or Descendants, how many generations to show, a half circle or full circle, and colour by generation rings, gender or lineage. The same panel shows how complete each line is.
