TTkTree🌶️

class TTkTree(*, treeWidget: TTkTreeWidget = None, **kwargs)[source]🌶️

Bases: TTkAbstractScrollArea

TTkTree is a container widget which place TTkTreeWidget in a scrolling area with on-demand scroll bars.

The TTkTreeWidget class is a convenience class that provides a standard tree widget with a classic item-based interface.

This class is based on TTk’s Model/View architecture and uses a default model to hold items, each of which is a TTkTreeWidgetItem.

In its simplest form, a tree widget can be constructed in the following way:

import TermTk as ttk

root = ttk.TTk()

tree = ttk.TTkTree(parent=root,size=(80,24))
tree.setHeaderLabels(["Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3"])

top = ttk.TTkTreeWidgetItem(["String A", "String B", "String C"])

tree.addTopLevelItem(top)

for i in range(5):
    child = ttk.TTkTreeWidgetItem(["Child A" + str(i), "Child B" + str(i), "Child C" + str(i)])
    top.addChild(child)

root.mainloop()

Before items can be added to the tree widget, the number of columns must be set with setHeaderLabels(). This allows each item to have one label.

The tree can have a header that contains a section for each column in the widget. It is easiest to set up the labels for each section by supplying a list of strings with setHeaderLabels().

The items in the tree can be sorted by column according to a predefined sort order. If sorting is enabled, the user can sort the items by clicking on a column header. Sorting can be enabled or disabled by calling setSortingEnabled(). The isSortingEnabled() function indicates whether sorting is enabled.

Parameters:

treeWidget (TTkTreeWidget, optional) – a custom Tree Widget to be used instead of the default one.
