N-Ary tree

programming
1

Hi board,

I need to display a n-ary tree. Does anybody have an implementation or logic to position the various nodes?

The tree can be arbritrarily huge.

Currently the nodes are library - movieClips and added to the _root using attachMovieClip and the connectors/edges are done using lines. The tree is not being displayed as of yet its just adding to nodes at random positions and drawing a line between them. :frowning:

Help. Any other stratergy to display the tree could also be used but the nodes should be draggable more precisely a node can be dragged and dropped into another node.

Thanks.

Cruiser.

Hi,

You would get a better idea if you see http://www.touchgraph.com/PlanetWissen.html

That is a 2d model but the nodes are all around. I want to do the same thing but the child nodes are always below the parent node. The physics aren’t necessary.

Thanks.

randomleeway = 10
spaceing = 20
this._x = (Math.random()*randomleeway-randomleeway/2)+ParentNode._x;
this._y = (Math.random()*randomleeway-randomleeway/2)+ParentNode._y+spaceing;

some thing like that?
