Getting started

.. _getting_started:

Usage is simple.

Construction

from anytree import Node, RenderTree udo = Node("Udo") marc = Node("Marc", parent=udo) lian = Node("Lian", parent=marc) dan = Node("Dan", parent=udo) jet = Node("Jet", parent=dan) jan = Node("Jan", parent=dan) joe = Node("Joe", parent=dan)

Node

print(udo) Node('/Udo') print(joe) Node('/Udo/Dan/Joe')

Tree

for pre, fill, node in RenderTree(udo): ... print("%s%s" % (pre, node.name)) Udo ├── Marc │ └── Lian └── Dan ├── Jet ├── Jan └── Joe

For details see Node_ and RenderTree_.

Visualization

from anytree.exporter import UniqueDotExporter

graphviz needs to be installed for the next line!

UniqueDotExporter(udo).to_picture("udo.png")

.. image:: https://anytree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/udo.png

The UniqueDotExporter_ can be started at any node and has various formatting hookups:

UniqueDotExporter(dan, ... nodeattrfunc=lambda node: "fixedsize=true, width=1, height=1, shape=diamond", ... edgeattrfunc=lambda parent, child: "style=bold" ... ).to_picture("dan.png")

.. image:: https://anytree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/dan.png

There are various other Importers_ and Exporters_.

Manipulation

A second tree:

mary = Node("Mary") urs = Node("Urs", parent=mary) chris = Node("Chris", parent=mary) marta = Node("Marta", parent=mary) print(RenderTree(mary)) Node('/Mary') ├── Node('/Mary/Urs') ├── Node('/Mary/Chris') └── Node('/Mary/Marta')

Append:

udo.parent = mary print(RenderTree(mary)) Node('/Mary') ├── Node('/Mary/Urs') ├── Node('/Mary/Chris') ├── Node('/Mary/Marta') └── Node('/Mary/Udo') ├── Node('/Mary/Udo/Marc') │ └── Node('/Mary/Udo/Marc/Lian') └── Node('/Mary/Udo/Dan') ├── Node('/Mary/Udo/Dan/Jet') ├── Node('/Mary/Udo/Dan/Jan') └── Node('/Mary/Udo/Dan/Joe')

Subtree rendering:

print(RenderTree(marc)) Node('/Mary/Udo/Marc') └── Node('/Mary/Udo/Marc/Lian')

Cut:

dan.parent = None print(RenderTree(dan)) Node('/Dan') ├── Node('/Dan/Jet') ├── Node('/Dan/Jan') └── Node('/Dan/Joe')

Extending any python class to become a tree node

The entire tree magic is encapsulated by NodeMixin_ add it as base class and the class becomes a tree node:

from anytree import NodeMixin, RenderTree class MyBaseClass(object): # Just an example of a base class ... foo = 4 class MyClass(MyBaseClass, NodeMixin): # Add Node feature ... def init(self, name, length, width, parent=None, children=None): ... super(MyClass, self).init() ... self.name = name ... self.length = length ... self.width = width ... self.parent = parent ... if children: ... self.children = children

Just set the parent attribute to reflect the tree relation:

my0 = MyClass('my0', 0, 0) my1 = MyClass('my1', 1, 0, parent=my0) my2 = MyClass('my2', 0, 2, parent=my0)

for pre, fill, node in RenderTree(my0): ... treestr = u"%s%s" % (pre, node.name) ... print(treestr.ljust(8), node.length, node.width) my0 0 0 ├── my1 1 0 └── my2 0 2

The children can be used likewise:

my0 = MyClass('my0', 0, 0, children=[ ... MyClass('my1', 1, 0), ... MyClass('my2', 0, 2), ... ])

for pre, fill, node in RenderTree(my0): ... treestr = u"%s%s" % (pre, node.name) ... print(treestr.ljust(8), node.length, node.width) my0 0 0 ├── my1 1 0 └── my2 0 2
