What is an LWCX file?

An LWCX file is a family tree wall chart created by Legacy Charting. It contains XML data that specifies the chart's format, included family tree, and metadata. Typically, LWCX files are created from imported Legacy Family Tree database (.FDB) files.

Legacy Charting is an add-on to the Legacy Family Tree genealogy program. After creating a family tree in Legacy Family Tree, a user can export that tree to Legacy Charting by selecting Reports → Legacy Charting. This allows the user to format the tree and print it as a wall chart.

For example, a user can import a tree, choose to show the tree's contents as an hourglass chart, and then alter the chart's theme, colors, size, and background. After a user has formatted their chart to their liking, they can save it as an LWCX file. This allows them to open, edit, print, and/or email the chart again later if needed.
