NAME

       Forest::Tree - An n-ary tree

SYNOPSIS

	 use Forest::Tree;

	 my $t = Forest::Tree->new(
	     node     => 1,
	     children => [
		 Forest::Tree->new(
		     node     => 1.1,
		     children => [
			 Forest::Tree->new(node => 1.1.1),
			 Forest::Tree->new(node => 1.1.2),
			 Forest::Tree->new(node => 1.1.3),
		     ]
		 ),
		 Forest::Tree->new(node => 1.2),
		 Forest::Tree->new(
		     node     => 1.3,
		     children => [
			 Forest::Tree->new(node => 1.3.1),
			 Forest::Tree->new(node => 1.3.2),
		     ]
		 ),
	     ]
	 );

	 $t->traverse(sub {
	     my $t = shift;
	     print(('	 ' x $t->depth) . ($t->node || 'undef') . "
");
	 });

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a basic n-ary tree, it provides most of the functionality of Tree::Simple, whatever is missing will be added eventually.

       This class inherits from Forest::Tree::Pure>, but all shared methods and attributes are documented in both classes.

ATTRIBUTES

       node
       uid
       parent
	   parent
	   _set_parent
	   has_parent
	   clear_parent
       children
	   get_child_at ($index)
	       Return the child at this position. (zero-base index)

	   child_count
	       Returns the number of children this tree has

       size
	   size
	   has_size
	   clear_size
       height
	   height
	   has_height
	   clear_height

METHODS

       is_root
	   True if the current tree has no parent

       is_leaf
	   True if the current tree has no children

       depth
	   Return the depth of this tree. Root has a depth of -1

       add_child ($child)
       add_children (@children)
	   Add a new child. The $child must be a "Forest::Tree"

       insert_child_at ($index, $child)
	   Insert a child at this position. (zero-base index)

       remove_child_at ($index)
	   Remove the child at this position. (zero-base index)

       traverse (&func)
	   Takes a reference to a subroutine and traverses the tree applying this subroutine to every descendant.

       siblings
	   Returns an array reference of all siblings (not including us)

       to_pure_tree
	   Invokes "reconstruct_with_class" with Forest::Tree::Pure.

       to_mutable_tree
	   Returns the invocant (without cloning).

       clone
	   See "clone" in Forest::Tree::Pure.

	   This variant will not clone the parent, but return a clone of the subtree that is detached.

       get_index_in_siblings
	   Returns the index of the tree in the list of children.

	   Equivalent to calling "$tree-"parent->get_child_index($tree)>.

	   Returns -1 if the node has no parent (the root node).
