ParentEdgeStyleFunction

ParentEdgeStyleFunction

is an option for Tree and related functions that specifies functions to use to generate edge styles.

Details

  • ParentEdgeStyleFunction allows specifying the function to generate the style of the parent edge of the root node of a tree, as well as that of any subtrees at positions matching a pattern.
  • The following option settings can be used:
  • Automaticuse the automatic style
    funca general edge style function »
    Allfuncuse style function func for all edges »
    TreeCases[pattern]funcuse func for edges at nodes with data matching pattern »
    "Leaves"funcuse func for edges at leaves »
    "NonLeaves"funcuse func for edges at non-leaves »
    {pos1func1,pos2func2,…}use funci for the edge at relative position posi »
    {patt1func1,patt2func2,…}use funci for edges at positions matching patti »
  • Edge style specifications are effectively applied in the order ParentEdgeStyle, ParentEdgeStyleFunction and ParentEdgeShapeFunction, with later specifications overriding earlier ones.
  • ParentEdgeStyleFunctionfunc specifies that the style of the parent edge of the root node should be provided by func[data], where data is the data in the root.

Basic Examples  (4)

Style an individual edge:

Specify a list of edge style functions:

Use the same style function for all edges:

Specify style functions for the leaf and non-leaf edges:

Scope  (2)

Specify positions using position patterns:

Specify positions using data patterns:

Properties & Relations  (4)

Styles for edges can be specified by position:

Styles specified by a subtree take precedence over styles specified by its ancestors:

A position {i,j,…} in a subtree refers to its subtree at relative position {i,j,…}:

A relative position {2} at position {1} refers to the global position {1,2}:

In general, a pattern patt applies to subtrees at global position {i,j,…} that match patt:

A list of patterns {patt1,patt2,…} applies to relative positions {i,j,…} that match patti:
