NAME

       Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone - A Visitor for cloning parts of Tree::Simple hierarchy

SYNOPSIS

	 use Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone;

	 # create an visitor
	 my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::VariableDepthClone->new();

	 $visitor->setCloneDepth(3);

	 # pass our visitor to the tree
	 $tree->accept($visitor);

	 my $partial_tree = $visitor->getClone();

DESCRIPTION

       This visitor will clone

METHODS

       new There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You can use the "setNodeFilter" method to customize
	   its behavior.

       includeTrunk ($boolean)
	   Based upon the value of $boolean, this will tell the visitor to include the trunk of the tree in the traversal as well. This basically
	   means it will clone the root node as well.

       setCloneDepth ($number)
       setNodeFilter ($filter_function)
	   This method accepts a CODE reference as its $filter_function argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This code
	   reference is used to filter the tree nodes as they are cloned.

       visit ($tree)
	   This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's "accept" method. It can also be used on its own, it requires the $tree argument to be
	   a Tree::Simple object (or derived from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.

       getClone
	   This method returns the cloned partial tree.

BUGS

       None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to fix it.

CODE COVERAGE

       See the CODE COVERAGE section in Tree::Simple::VisitorFactory for more inforamtion.

SEE ALSO

       These Visitor classes are all subclasses of Tree::Simple::Visitor, which can be found in the Tree::Simple module, you should refer to that
       module for more information.

NAME

       Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedArray - A Visitor for creating nested array trees from Tree::Simple objects.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedArray;

	 my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::ToNestedArray->new();

	 # given this Tree::Simple tree
	 my $tree = Tree::Simple->new("Root")
		       ->addChildren(
			   Tree::Simple->new("Child1")
			       ->addChildren(
				   Tree::Simple->new("GrandChild1"),
				   Tree::Simple->new("GrandChild2")
			       ),
			   Tree::Simple->new("Child2"),
		       );

	 # include the trunk (Root)
	 $visitor->includeTrunk(1);

	 # visit the tree
	 $tree->accept($visitor);

	 my $array_tree = $visitor->getResults();
	 # this then creates the equivalent nested array tree:
	 # [
	 # 'Root', [
	 #     'Child1', [
	 #	       'GrandChild1',
	 #	       'GrandChild2'
	 #	       ],
	 #     'Child2'
	 #     ]
	 # ]

	 # if you don't include the trunk (Root) then ...
	 $tree->accept($visitor);

	 my $array_tree = $visitor->getResults();
	 # this then creates the following nested array tree:
	 # [
	 #   'Child1', [
	 #	     'GrandChild1',
	 #	     'GrandChild2'
	 #	     ],
	 #   'Child2'
	 # ]

DESCRIPTION

       Given a tree constructed from a Tree::Simple heirarchy, this Visitor will create the equivalent tree of nested arrays.

METHODS

       new There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You can use the "setNodeFilter" and "includTrunk"
	   methods to customize its behavior.

       includTrunk ($boolean)
	   Setting the $boolean value to true(1) will cause the node value of the tree's root to be included in the nested array output, setting
	   it to false will do the opposite.

       setNodeFilter ($filter_function)
	   This method accepts a CODE reference as its $filter_function argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This code
	   reference is used to filter the tree nodes as they are placed into the array tree. The $filter_function is passed a Tree::Simple
	   object, and is expected to return the value desired for inclusion into the array tree.

       visit ($tree)
	   This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's "accept" method. It can also be used on its own, it requires the $tree argument to be
	   a Tree::Simple object (or derived from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.

       getResults
	   This method will return the array tree constructed.

BUGS

       None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to fix it.
