12The Tree widget provides geometry management of arbitrary widgets arranged
13in a directed, acyclic graph (i.e., a tree).  The hierarchy is constructed
14by attaching a constraint resource called <function>treeParent</function> to each widget
15indicating which other node in the tree should be treated as the widget's
16superior.  The structure of the tree is shown by laying out the nodes
17in the standard format for tree diagrams with lines drawn connecting each
18node with its children.

21<para>
22The Tree sizes itself according to the needs of its children and is not
23intended to be resized by its parent.  Instead, it should be placed inside
24another composite widget (such as the <function>Porthole</function> or <function>Viewport</function>)
25that can be used to scroll around in the tree.
