TreeElementSize

TreeElementSize

is an option for Tree and related functions that specifies what size should be used for subtree elements.

Details

  • TreeElementSize allows specifying the size of the root node of a tree, as well as that of any subtrees at positions matching a pattern.
  • The following option settings can be used:
  • Automaticautomatically compute node size
    Tiny,Small,Medium,Largeuse tiny, small, etc. sizes »
    {"Nearest",s}fraction of minimum distance between node coordinates »
    {"Scaled",s}fraction of overall diagonal for all node coordinates »
    {sx,sy}specify size in the and directions »
    Allsuse size s for all nodes »
    TreeCases[pattern]suse s for nodes with data matching pattern »
    "Leaves"suse s for leaves »
    "NonLeaves"suse s for non-leaves »
    {pos1s1,pos2s2,…}use si for the node at relative position posi »
    {patt1s1,patt2s2,…}use si for nodes at positions matching patti »
  • TreeElementSizes for a number s is taken to be TreeElementSize{"Nearest",s}.
  • A size {sx,sy} indicates a rectangle region with center {x,y}, lower-left corner {x-sx,y-sy} and upper-right corner {x+sx,y+sy}.
  • TreeElementSizeFunction specifications override TreeElementSize specifications.

Basic Examples  (4)

Specify an individual node size:

Specify a list of node sizes:

Use the same size for all nodes:

Specify sizes for the leaves and for the non-leaves:

Scope  (6)

Size Specification  (4)

Use symbolic node sizes:

Use a fraction of the minimum distance between node coordinates:

Use a fraction of the overall diagonal for all node coordinates:

Specify size in both the and directions:

Position Specification  (2)

Specify positions using position patterns:

Specify positions using data patterns:

Properties & Relations  (4)

Sizes for nodes can be specified by position:

Sizes specified by a subtree take precedence over sizes specified by its ancestors:

A position {i,j,…} in a subtree refers to its subtree at relative position {i,j,…}:

A relative position {2} at position {1} refers to the global position {1,2}:

In general, a pattern patt applies to subtrees at global positions {i,j,…} that match patt:

A list of patterns {patt1,patt2,…} applies to relative positions {i,j,…} that match patti:
