\section{\class{wxTreeLayout}}\label{wxtreelayout}

wxTreeLayout provides layout of simple trees with one root node, drawn left-to-right,
with user-defined spacing between nodes.

wxTreeLayout is an abstract class that must be subclassed. The programmer
defines various member functions which will access whatever data structures
are appropriate for the application, and wxTreeLayout uses these when laying
out the tree.

Nodes are identified by long integer identifiers. The derived class
communicates the actual tree structure to wxTreeLayout by defining \helpref{wxTreeLayout::GetChildren}{wxtreelayoutgetchildren}\rtfsp
and \helpref{wxTreeLayout::GetNodeParent}{wxtreelayoutgetnodeparent} functions.

The application should call \helpref{wxTreeLayout::DoLayout}{wxtreelayoutdolayout} to do the tree
layout. Depending on how the derived class has been defined, either
\rtfsp\helpref{wxTreeLayout::Draw}{wxtreelayoutdraw} must be called (for example by the OnPaint member
of a wxScrolledWindow) or the application-defined drawing code should be called
as normal.

For example, if you have an image drawing system already defined, you
may want wxTreeLayout to position existing node images in that system. So you
just need a way for wxTreeLayout to set the node image positions according to
the layout algorithm, and the rest will be done by your own image drawing
system.

The algorithm is due to Gabriel Robins \cite{robins87}, a linear-time
algorithm originally implemented in LISP for AI applications.

The original algorithm has been modified so that both X and Y planes
are calculated simultaneously, increasing efficiency slightly. The basic
code is only a page or so long.

Constructor.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::ActivateNode}\label{wxtreelayoutactivatenode}

\func{void}{ActivateNode}{\param{long}{ id}, \param{bool }{active}}

Define this so wxTreeLayout can turn nodes on and off for drawing purposes
(not all nodes may be connected in the tree). See also \helpref{wxTreeLayout::NodeActive}{wxtreelayoutnodeactive}.

Calculates the layout for the tree, optionally specifying the top node.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::Draw}\label{wxtreelayoutdraw}

\func{void}{Draw}{\param{wxDC\&}{ dc}}

Call this to let wxTreeLayout draw the tree itself, once the layout has been
calculated with \helpref{wxTreeLayout::DoLayout}{wxtreelayoutdolayout}.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::DrawBranch}

of integers.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetNextNode}\label{wxtreelayoutgetnextnode}

\func{long}{GetNextNode}{\param{long}{ id}}

Must be defined to return the next node after {\it id}, so that wxTreeLayout can
iterate through all relevant nodes. The ordering is not important.
The function should return -1 if there are no more nodes.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetNodeName}

\constfunc{wxString}{GetNodeName}{\param{long}{ id}}

May optionally be defined to get a node's name (for example if leaving
the drawing to wxTreeLayout).

\constfunc{void}{GetNodeSize}{\param{long}{ id}, \param{long*}{ x}, \param{long*}{ y}}

Can be defined to indicate a node's size, or left to wxTreeLayout to use the
name as an indication of size.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetNodeParent}\label{wxtreelayoutgetnodeparent}

\constfunc{long}{GetNodeParent}{\param{long}{ id}}

The function should return -1 if there is no parent.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetNodeX}

\constfunc{long}{GetNodeX}{\param{long}{ id}}

Must be defined to return the current X position of the node. Note that
coordinates are assumed to be at the top-left of the node so some conversion
may be necessary for your application.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetNodeY}

\constfunc{long}{GetNodeY}{\param{long}{ id}}

Must be defined to return the current Y position of the node. Note that
coordinates are assumed to be at the top-left of the node so some conversion
may be necessary for your application.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetLeftMargin}

\constfunc{long}{GetLeftMargin}{\void}

Gets the left margin set with \helpref{wxTreeLayout::SetMargins}{wxtreelayoutsetmargins}.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetOrientation}

\constfunc{bool}{GetOrientation}{\void}

Gets the top margin set with \helpref{wxTreeLayout::SetMargins}{wxtreelayoutsetmargins}.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetTopNode}

\constfunc{long}{GetTopNode}{\void}

wxTreeLayout calls this to get the top of the tree. Don't redefine this; call
\rtfsp\helpref{wxTreeLayout::SetTopNode}{wxtreelayoutsettopnode} instead before calling \helpref{wxTreeLayout::DoLayout}{wxtreelayoutdolayout}.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::GetXSpacing}

or constructor.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::NodeActive}\label{wxtreelayoutnodeactive}

\func{bool}{NodeActive}{\param{long}{ id}}

nodes may be connected in the tree). See also \helpref{wxTreeLayout::ActivateNode}{wxtreelayoutactivatenode}.

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::SetNodeName}

\func{void}{SetNodeName}{\param{long}{ id}, \param{const wxString\& }{ name}}

\membersection{wxTreeLayout::SetNodeX}

\func{void}{SetNodeX}{\param{long}{ id}, \param{long}{ x}}

\section{\class{wxTreeLayoutStored}}\label{wxtreelayoutstored}
