ExpressionTreePlot

As of Version 10, all the functionality of the GraphUtilities package is built into the Wolfram System. »

ExpressionTreePlot[e]

plots the expression tree of e.

ExpressionTreePlot[e,pos]

plots the expression tree of e with its root placed at position pos.

ExpressionTreePlot[e,pos,lev]

plots the expression tree of e up to level lev with its root placed at position pos.

Basic Examples  (2)

An expression tree plot, with tooltips for each vertex giving the subexpression from that vertex down:

ExpressionTreePlot has been superseded by TreeForm:

Scope  (2)

When Hold, HoldForm, etc. are used, the expressions inside them are not evaluated:

An expression tree up to level 2 with its root at the left:

Options  (1)

This gives an expression tree with no vertex labels, except that all subexpressions are shown as tooltips:

Applications  (1)

This plots a binary tree:

This plots a 5-ary tree:

Properties & Relations  (1)

TreeForm also gives the expression tree, although the orientation of the tree cannot be specified:

ExpressionTreePlot can specify root position:
