TreeElementCoordinates
is an option for Tree and related functions that specifies the coordinates to use to place the center of subtree elements.
Details

- TreeElementCoordinates allows specifying the coordinates 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:
-
Automatic automatically compute node coordinates pt place the node at center coordinate pt » Allpt place all nodes at center coordinate pt » TreeCases[pattern]pt place nodes with data matching pattern at center coordinate pt » "Leaves"pt place leaves at center coordinate pt » "NonLeaves"pt place non-leaves at center coordinate pt » {pos1pt1,pos2pt2,…} place the node at relative position posi at center coordinate pti » {patt1pt1,patt2pt2,…} place nodes at positions matching patti at center coordinate pti » - With the setting TreeElementCoordinatesAutomatic, the center coordinates for subtree elements are computed according to the setting for TreeLayout.

Coordinates for nodes can be specified by position:
Sizes specified by a subtree take precedence over sizes 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 positions {i,j,…} that match patt:
A list of patterns {patt1,patt2,…} applies to relative positions {i,j,…} that match patti:
