Fig 1.
Mapping properties on tree features.
(a) A ContactTree that represents the ties and contacts of a 25-year-old woman. Each small branch is a tie, with male ties on the left side of the trunk and female ties on the right. Leaves represent contacts with these ties. (b) Features of the tree on which we map properties (black labels) and an example of mapping (blue labels).

Ordering of the relations according to the mapping presented in Fig 1b.
(a) Non ordered nodes. (b) Ordered nodes.
Fig 3.
(a) Trunk: first segment of the lines. (b) Main branches: second and third segments of the lines. (c) Lines end uniformly on the upper/lower side of the branch according to the number of years the person has known the ties. (d) Small branches: fourth and fifth segments of the lines.
Fig 4.
Two persons having many ties of their own gender.
(a) represents a married man (S2 File) and (b) a married woman (S3 File). They are not a married couple.
Fig 5.
Does being a parent ruin social relations?.
(a) and (d) represent two married persons (a man and a woman) with no children in 2004. (b) and (e) show the same persons four years later. They have two children in 2008. The numbers of their ties and contacts have decreased. (c) and (f) show the same persons in 2012. The numbers of their ties and contacts have increased, and the trees look pretty much the same as the ones back in 2004.
Fig 6.
Further stories from ContactTrees.
(a) shows a woman who has a young child. Four years later, as the child has grown up, the numbers of her ties and contacts have increased (b). This is likely because of her child’s activities: She was meeting many children and probably their parents (especially mothers).
Fig 7.
(a) This woman has 4,096 contacts (S12 File). Her ContactTree is the largest in the contact diaries dataset. (b) Two small branches intersect.
