tree: Draw a tree
In RonMobile/cli: Helpers for Developing Command Line Interfaces

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Draw a tree using box drawing characters. Unicode characters are used if available. (Set the cli.unicode option if auto-detection fails.)

tree(
  data,
  root = data[[1]][[1]],
  style = NULL,
  width = console_width(),
  trim = FALSE
)

`data`	Data frame that contains the tree structure. The first column is an id, and the second column is a list column, that contains the ids of the child nodes. The optional third column may contain the text to print to annotate the node.
`root`	The name of the root node.
`style`	Optional box style list.
`width`	Maximum width of the output. Defaults to the `width` option, see `base::options()`.
`trim`	Whether to avoid traversing the same nodes multiple times. If `TRUE` and `data` has a `trimmed` column, then that is used for printing repeated noded.

A node might appear multiple times in the tree, or might not appear at all.

Character vector, the lines of the tree drawing.
