sub tree cell alignment

[David Lynch]

Wouter, I wonder if you had given thought to an algorithm that would allow all grandchildren of a cell to be aligned where each have the same height or width.

This way alignment would appear as a table. but each row, or column, would have different parent.

In the case where the children contain grids, I presume?
Sounds doable, but a bit specialized. Maybe one for google moderator?

Wouter,  Here is an example,

Currently the tree would like this

Pet

 Name

  Dog Mouse Cat

 Toy

  Frisbee Wheel Yarn

 Weight(lbs)

  60 1 10

Ideally the tree could look like this

Pet

 Name

  Dog      Mouse Cat

 Toy

  Frisbee Wheel  Yarn

 Weight(lbs)

  60         1        10

I consider it another killer app for treesheets, because it offers a hybrid tree-table model, rather than only a tree + spreadsheet.

I would like it for my unique purposes to display similar lines of code that belong to different functions.

This model could make a table sortable and displayable.  I will post it on the voting page.

Thanks

David

David,

I can see that has its uses, but why don't you simply use grids, as intended:

Pet

 Name         Dog     Mouse Cat

 Toy          Frisbee Wheel Yarn

 Weight(lbs)  60      1     10

Wouter,

For Example, it would be nice to have multiple tables align as one example.  Also I would like to convert the granchildren cells into interpretable code, stored in the node Function name.  Also to be able to find, fold, modify and sort a table is much more scalable if the row or column names are themselves a parent 

Y-row(types)

  X-column(types)

    Operator var var val func var

  Func1

    add         x   y   1   print x

    sub         a   b   2   print a

    stop

  Func 2

    add         y   x   55 print y

    add         b   a   55 print b

    stop

    

Additionally it could be really cool additional feature to flip the table, although I don't need the feature atm

X-row(types)

 Y-column(types)

             Func1              Func2

 Operator

            add  sub  stop   add  add stop

 var       

             x     a               y     b

 var

             y     b               x     a

 val

            1      2               55    55

 func

            print print           print print

 var 

            x      a              y      b

I agree that can have its uses, lets see what others think.
