LabVIEW Versions:

Created and tested with LabVIEW 8.6

Dependencies:

lava_lib_ui_tools >=1.0.36

Description:

This package contains classes for manipulating Trees with some enhanced features.

It consists of a set of VIs to create tree objects and associating tags with data in a variant format.

Includes:

- includes some icons from FamFamFam (see license in _Symbols directory) for demo purposes. You do not need these icons if you use the Tree OOP classes in your work.

Instructions:

After installing package with VIPM, refresh palettes if VIPM is not set to refresh automatically.

You will find the palettes in the UI Tools functions palette (user.lib)

Known Issues:

- No drag and drop functionalities included. You'll have to do that on your own if wanted. (for now anyway)

- Arrays will be shown has a succession of Unnamed items. Recursive VI provides a way to put it on

a single line within brackets, but has been removed to provide backward compatibility to 8.6. An add-on

will be posted for LV 9.0+ users.

- The Children & Parents Symbols synchronization works only for Symbol indexes 1-2-3 (True-False-Mixed).

- When adding an item on the same level as an existing one, it gets added in front. Expected behavior would

be to have it added afterwards.

- Modifying a child's data does not recursively modify the parents' data (cluster variants). This will

become obvious once you try the framework... This functionality will be kept in my mind for future improvements.
