notcurses_tree(3) notcurses_tree(3) NAME notcurses_tree - high-level hierarchical line-based data SYNOPSIS #include <notcurses/notcurses.h> struct nctree; struct ncplane; typedef struct nctree_item { void* curry; struct nctree_item* subs; unsigned subcount; } nctree_item; typedef struct nctree_options { const nctree_item* items; // top-level nctree_item array unsigned count; // size of |items| int (*nctreecb)(struct ncplane*, void*, int); // item callback int indentcols; // columns to indent per hierarchy uint64_t flags; // bitfield of NCTREE_OPTION_* } nctree_options; struct nctree* nctree_create(struct ncplane* n, const nctree_options* opts); struct ncplane* nctree_plane(struct nctree* n); int nctree_redraw(struct nctree* n); bool nctree_offer_input(struct nctree* n, const ncinput* ni); void* nctree_focused(struct nctree* n); void* nctree_next(struct nctree* n); void* nctree_prev(struct nctree* n); void* nctree_goto(struct nctree* n, const int* path, int* failpath); int nctree_add(struct nctree* n, const unsigned* path, const nctree_item* add); int nctree_del(struct nctree* n, const unsigned* path); void nctree_destroy(struct nctree* n); DESCRIPTION nctrees organize hierarchical items, and allow them to be browsed. Each item can have arbitrary subitems. Items can be collapsed and expanded. The display supports scrolling and searching. An nctree cannot be empty. count must be non-zero, and items must not be NULL. The callback function nctreecb must also be non-NULL. The callback function nctreecb is called on tree items when the tree is re- drawn. It will be called on each visible item, and any item which has be- come hidden. If the item is newly hidden, the ncplane argument will be NULL. If the item is newly visible, the ncplane argument will be an empty plane. If the item was already visible, the ncplane argument will be the same plane passed before. If the item has not changed since the last time the callback was invoked, there is no need to change the plane, and the callback can return immediately. Otherwise, the plane ought be drawn by the callback. Any unused rows ought be trimmed away using ncplane_resize. If the plane is expanded in the callback, it will be shrunk back down by the widget. The int parameter indicates distance from the focused item. If the parameter is negative, the item is before the focused item; a posi- tive parameter implies that the item follows the focused item; the focused item itself is passed zero. nctree_goto, nctree_add, and nctree_del all use the concept of a path. A path is an array of unsigned values, terminated by UINT_MAX, with each suc- cessive value indexing into the hierarchy thus far. The root node of the nctree thus always has a 2-element path of [0, UINT_MAX]. RETURN VALUES nctree_create returns NULL for invalid options. This includes a NULL items or nctreecb field, or a zero count field. nctree_next and nctree_prev both return the curry pointer from the newly-focused item. nctree_focused returns the curry pointer from the al- ready-focused item. nctree_goto returns the curry pointer from the newly-focused item. If path is invalid, the first invalid hierarchy level is written to failpath, and NULL is returned. If path is valid, the value -1 is written to failpath. Since it is possible for a curry pointer to be NULL, one should check fail- path before assuming the operation failed. nctree_add and nctree_del both return -1 for an invalid path, and 0 other- wise. NOTES nctree shares many properties with notcurses_reel. Unlike the latter, nc- trees support arbitrary hierarchical levels. nctree used to only handle static data, but nctree_add and nctree_del were added in Notcurses 3.0.1.
