# The SVG based tree render plugin #### Synopsis :- use_rendering(svgtree). :- use_rendering(svgtree, Options). #### Options supported - list(Boolean) It `false`, do not render a list as a tree. Rendering lists as a tree has didactic values but is otherwise mostly confusing. - filter(:NodeFilter) If present, use call(NodeFilter, Term, Label, Children) to extract the label and children of a term. Operates on terms for which this call succeeds on the top node. If the call fails on a child, the child is rendered as a term. #### Reconised terms Any compound term. If a `filter` options is provided, any term that can be translated by the filter.

## Examples The [English grammar](example/grammar.pl) provides an example that renders a parse tree. A first usage is explanation of the tree structure of Prolog terms.

:- use_rendering(svgtree).

Tree = a(_, b("hello"), [x,y,z]).

The answer rendering is applied *after* SWISH *removes* cycles from the answer. This means that cyclic terms can be handed to it, but the result might not be what you expected.

Tree = a(Tree).

## Using filters to create a tree from custom data Suppose the data for our tree is stored in the database, like below and we would like to create a tree from this. We do this by defining a _filter_.

:- use_rendering(svgtree, [filter(myfilter)]). node('The Netherlands', ['Noord Holland', 'Zuid Holland', 'Utrecht']). node('Noord Holland', ['Amsterdam', 'Alkmaar', 'Volendam']). node('Amsterdam', ['Amsterdam Zuid', 'Amsterdam Centrum', 'Amsterdam Noord']). myfilter(Name, Name, Children) :- node(Name, Children).

A = 'The Netherlands'.
