The Tree widget provides geometry management of arbitrary widgets arranged in a directed, acyclic graph (i.e., a tree). The hierarchy is contructed by attaching a constraint resource called treeParent to each widget indicating which other node in the tree should be treated as the widget's superior. The structure of the tree is shown by laying out the nodes in the standard format for tree diagrams with lines drawn connecting each node with its children.
The Tree sizes itself according to the needs of its children and is not intended to be resized by its parent. Instead, it should be placed inside another composite widget (such as the Porthole or Viewport) that can be used to scroll around in the tree.
None.
When creating a Tree widget instance, the following resources are retrieved from the argument list of XtSetValues() or XtVaSetValues() or from the resource database:
| Name | Class | Type | Default Value |
| OBJECT: | |||
| destroyCallback | Callback | Pointer | NULL |
| RECTANGLE: | |||
| borderWidth height sensitive width x y |
BorderWidth Height Sensitive Width Position Position |
Dimension Dimension Boolean Dimension Position Position |
1 Space for all children True Space for all children 0 0 |
| CORE: | |||
| border background mappedWhenManaged |
BorderColor Background MappedWhenManaged |
Pixel Pixel Boolean |
XtDefaultForeground grey75 True |
| TREE: | |||
| autoReconfigure foreground gravity hSpace lineWidth vSpace |
AutoReconfigure Foreground Gravity HSpace LineWidth VSpace |
Boolean Pixel XtGravity Dimension Dimension Dimension |
FALSE XtDefaultForeground West 20 0 6 |
| autoReconfigure | Whether or not to layout the tree every time a node is added or removed. |
| gravity | Specifies the side of the widget from which the tree should grow. Valid values include WestGravity, NorthGravity, EastGravity, and SouthGravity. |
| hSpace vSpace |
The amount of space, in pixels, to leave between the children. This resource specifies the amount of space left between the outermost children and the edge of the box. |
| lineWidth | The width of the lines from nodes that do not have a treeGC constraint resource to their children. |
Each time a child is managed or unmanaged, the Tree widget will attempt to reposition the remaining children to fix the shape of the tree if the autoReconfigure resource is set. Children at the top (most superior) of the tree are drawn at the side specified by the gravity resource.
After positioning all children, the Tree widget attempts to shrink its own size to the minimum dimensions required for the layout.
The most efficient way to layout a tree is to set autoReconfigure to False and then use XawTreeForceLayout() to arrange the children:
void XawTreeForceLayout(w)
Widget w;
w Specifies the Tree widget.
