mvctree

MVCTree is a control which handles hierarchical data. It is constructed in model-view-controller architecture, so the display of that data, and the content of the data can be changed greatly without affecting the other parts.

MVCTree actually is even more configurable than MVC normally implies, because almost every aspect of it is pluggable:

• MVCTree - Overall controller, and the window that actually gets placed in the GUI.
  • Painter - Paints the control. The ‘view’ part of MVC.
    • NodePainter - Paints just the nodes
    • LinePainter - Paints just the lines between the nodes
    • TextConverter - Figures out what text to print for each node
  • Editor - Edits the contents of a node, if the model is editable.
  • LayoutEngine - Determines initial placement of nodes
  • Transform - Adjusts positions of nodes for movement or special effects.
  • TreeModel - Contains the data which the rest of the control acts on. The ‘model’ part of MVC.
