TreeOutline

TreeOutline[tree]

gives an outline of the data in tree as a nested OpenerView.

TreeOutline[tree,pos]

gives an outline of the data in tree initially opened to the subtree at the position specified by pos.

TreeOutline[tree,{pos₁,pos₂,…}]

opens the outline to several positions.

Details

TreeOutline gives an outline view of a Tree object where each subtree can be interactively opened and closed to display and hide its children. The outline is initially opened to the subtrees at the specified positions, with all other subtrees closed.
TreeOutline[Tree[data,{child₁,child₂,…}]] displays as OpenerView[{data,openers},False], where openers is a column of the TreeOutline[child_i].
TreeOutline[tree,pos] uses OpenerView[…,True] if tree has a proper subtree at position pos and OpenerView[…,False] otherwise. »
TreeOutline[tree,{i,j,…}] gives an outline opened to the position {i,j,…}.
TreeOutline can use the position specifications returned by TreePosition as well as extended forms as used in functions such as TreeExtract and TreeInsert.
An individual position specification pos can be given as {part₁,part₂,…}, where part specifications part_i include:

	i	the i child
	-i	the i child from the end
	{i₁,i₂,…}	the list of children with part numbers i₁, i₂, …
	pattern	the children with part number matching patt
	"key"	the child whose key is "key"
	Key[k]	the child with an arbitrary key k

Patterns can include constructs such as __, representing position specifications of variable lengths.
In TreeOutline[tree,{p₁,p₂,…}], {p₁,p₂,…} is interpreted as a list of individual position specifications if all the p_i are lists. Otherwise, {p₁,p₂,…} will be taken to be an individual position specification.
TreeOutline works on trees containing an Association of subtrees, using the same specification for keys as in Part. »
TreeOutline[tree] uses certain options specified in tree.
Options affecting individual tree elements or nodes include:

	TreeElementLabel	labels for subtree elements
	TreeElementLabelStyle	styles for subtree element labels
	TreeElementLabelFunction	generate labels for subtree elements

Options affecting individual edges include:
ParentEdgeLabel labels for edges

ParentEdgeLabelStyle styles for edge labels

ParentEdgeLabelFunction generate labels for edges
Options affecting elision of nodes include:
MaxDisplayedChildren maximum number of children to display

Properties & Relations (7)

Leaves do not have openers:

TreeOutline[tree,pos] opens all subtrees that contain a proper subtree at positions specified by pos:

If the positions specified by pos do not exist, then the outline is left closed:

A pattern p that is not explicitly a list matches against the immediate children:

In that case, p is equivalent to {p}:

TreeOutline can use the lists of positions returned by TreePosition:

TreeOutline[tree,i] is equivalent to TreeOutline[tree,j] if the i and j children both exist:

This is similar if both children do not exist:

TreeOutline[tree] is equivalent to TreeOutline[tree,{}]:

Possible Issues (2)

Opening to the root does not open any subtrees:

To open the root subtree, specify a position at level 1:

Negative integers are not supported in patterns:

Negative integers can be used in explicit positions:
