Rubytree is a simple implementation of the generic Tree data structure.  This

implementation is node-centric, where the individual nodes on the tree are the

primary objects and drive the structure.



== INSTALL:



Rubytree is an open source project and is hosted at:



   http://rubytree.rubyforge.org



Rubytree can be downloaded as a Rubygem or as a tar/zip file from:



   http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1215&release_id=8817



The file-name is one of:



    rubytree-<VERSION>.gem - The Rubygem

    rubytree-<VERSION>.tgz - GZipped source files

    rubytree-<VERSION>.zip - Zipped  source files



Download the appropriate file-type for your system.



It is recommended to install Rubytree as a Ruby Gem, as this is an easy way to

keep the version updated, and keep multiple versions of the library available on

your system.



=== Installing the Gem



To Install the Gem, from a Terminal/CLI command prompt, issue the command:



   gem install rubytree



This should install the gem file for Rubytree. Note that you may need to be a

super-user (root) to successfully install the gem.



=== Installing from the tgz/zip file



Extract the archive file (tgz or zip) and run the following command from the

top-level source directory:



    ruby ./setup.rb



You may need administrator/super-user privileges to complete the setup using

this method.



== DOCUMENTATION:



The primary class for this implementation is Tree::TreeNode. See the

class documentation for an usage example.



From a command line/terminal prompt, you can issue the following command to view

the text mode ri documentation:



    ri Tree::TreeNode



Documentation on the web is available at:



http://rubytree.rubyforge.org/rdoc



== EXAMPLE:



The following code-snippet implements this tree structure:



                 +------------+

                 |    ROOT    |

                 +-----+------+

         +-------------+------------+

         |                          |

 +-------+-------+          +-------+-------+

 |  CHILD 1      |          |  CHILD 2      |

 +-------+-------+          +---------------+

         |

         |

 +-------+-------+

 | GRANDCHILD 1  |

 +---------------+



 require 'tree'



 myTreeRoot = Tree::TreeNode.new("ROOT", "Root Content")



 myTreeRoot << Tree::TreeNode.new("CHILD1", "Child1 Content") << Tree::TreeNode.new("GRANDCHILD1", "GrandChild1 Content")



 myTreeRoot << Tree::TreeNode.new("CHILD2", "Child2 Content")



 myTreeRoot.printTree



 child1 = myTreeRoot["CHILD1"]



 grandChild1 = myTreeRoot["CHILD1"]["GRANDCHILD1"]



 siblingsOfChild1Array = child1.siblings



 immediateChildrenArray = myTreeRoot.children



 # Process all nodes



 myTreeRoot.each { |node| node.content.reverse }



 myTreeRoot.remove!(child1) # Remove the child
