insert

public function insert(newChild:MutableTreeNode, childIndex:Number):Void

Adds child to the receiver at index. child will be messaged with setParent.

removeAt

public function removeAt(childIndex:Number):Void

Removes the child at the specified index from this node's children and sets that node's parent to null. The child node to remove must be a MutableTreeNode.

Parameters

childIndexthe index in this node's child array of the child to remove, nothing happen if childIndex is out of bounds

setParent

public function setParent(newParent:MutableTreeNode):Void

Sets this node's parent to newParent but does not change the parent's child array. This method is called from insert() and remove() to reassign a child's parent, it should not be messaged from anywhere else.

Parameters

newParentthis node's new parent

getParent

public function getParent():TreeNode

Returns this node's parent or null if this node has no parent.

Return

this node's parent TreeNode, or null if this node has no parent

getChildAt

public function getChildAt(index:Number):TreeNode

Returns the child at the specified index in this node's child array.

Parameters

indexan index into this node's child array

Return

the TreeNode in this node's child array at the specified index

Return

an int giving the number of children of this node

getIndex

public function getIndex(aChild:TreeNode):Number

See Also

getDepth

public function getDepth():Number

Returns the depth of the tree rooted at this node -- the longest distance from this node to a leaf. If this node has no children, returns 0. This operation is much more expensive than getLevel() because it must effectively traverse the entire tree rooted at this node.

Return

the depth of the tree whose root is this node

See Also

getLevel

Returns the number of levels above this node -- the distance from the root to this node. If this node is the root, returns 0.

Return

the number of levels above this node

See Also

getPath

public function getPath():Array

Return

true if this node is the root of its tree

getNextNode

public function getNextNode():FvAbstractTreeNode

Returns the node that follows this node in a preorder traversal of this node's tree. Returns null if this node is the last node of the traversal. This is an inefficient way to traverse the entire tree; use an enumeration, instead.

See Also

getPreviousNode

public function getPreviousNode():FvAbstractTreeNode

Returns the node that precedes this node in a preorder traversal of this node's tree. Returns null if this node is the first node of the traversal -- the root of the tree. This is an inefficient way to traverse the entire tree; use an enumeration, instead.

Return

the node that precedes this node in a preorder traversal, or null if this node is the first

See Also

preorderEnumeration

public function preorderEnumeration():Array

Creates and returns an enumeration that traverses the subtree rooted at this node in preorder. The first node returned by the enumeration's nextElement() method is this node.

Modifying the tree by inserting, removing, or moving a node invalidates any enumerations created before the modification.

Return

an enumeration for traversing the tree in preorder

See Also

postorderEnumeration

public function postorderEnumeration():Array

Creates and returns an enumeration that traverses the subtree rooted at this node in postorder. The first node returned by the enumeration's nextElement() method is the leftmost leaf. This is the same as a depth-first traversal.

Modifying the tree by inserting, removing, or moving a node invalidates any enumerations created before the modification.

Return

an enumeration for traversing the tree in postorder

See Also

breadthFirstEnumeration

public function breadthFirstEnumeration():Array

Creates and returns an enumeration that traverses the subtree rooted at this node in breadth-first order. The first node returned by the enumeration's nextElement() method is this node.

Modifying the tree by inserting, removing, or moving a node invalidates any enumerations created before the modification.

Return

an enumeration for traversing the tree in breadth-first order

See Also

depthFirstEnumeration

public function depthFirstEnumeration():Array

Creates and returns an enumeration that traverses the subtree rooted at this node in depth-first order. The first node returned by the enumeration's nextElement() method is the leftmost leaf. This is the same as a postorder traversal.

Modifying the tree by inserting, removing, or moving a node invalidates any enumerations created before the modification.

Return

an enumeration for traversing the tree in depth-first order

See Also

pathFromAncestorEnumeration

public function pathFromAncestorEnumeration(ancestor:TreeNode):Array

Creates and returns an enumeration that follows the path from ancestor to this node. The enumeration's nextElement() method first returns ancestor, then the child of ancestor that is an ancestor of this node, and so on, and finally returns this node. Creation of the enumeration is O(m) where m is the number of nodes between this node and ancestor, inclusive. Each nextElement() message is O(1).

Modifying the tree by inserting, removing, or moving a node invalidates any enumerations created before the modification.

Return

an enumeration for following the path from an ancestor of this node to this one

Throws

IllegalArgumentExceptionif ancestor is not an ancestor of this node

See Also

isNodeChild

public function isNodeChild(aNode:TreeNode):Boolean

Return

the first child of this node, null if this node has no children

getLastChild

public function getLastChild():TreeNode

Returns this node's last child.

Return

the last child of this node, null if this node has no children

getChildAfter

public function getChildAfter(aChild:TreeNode):TreeNode

Returns the child in this node's child array that immediately follows aChild, which must be a child of this node. If aChild is the last child, returns null. This method performs a linear search of this node's children for aChild and is O(n) where n is the number of children; to traverse the entire array of children, use an enumeration instead.

Return

the child of this node that immediately follows aChild

Throws

Errorif aChild is null or is not a child of this node

See Also

getChildBefore

public function getChildBefore(aChild:TreeNode):TreeNode

Returns the child in this node's child array that immediately precedes aChild, which must be a child of this node. If aChild is the first child, returns null. This method performs a linear search of this node's children for aChild and is O(n) where n is the number of children.

Return

the child of this node that immediately precedes aChild

Throws

IllegalArgumentExceptionif aChild is null or is not a child of this node

isNodeSibling

public function isNodeSibling(anotherNode:TreeNode):Boolean

Returns true if anotherNode is a sibling of (has the same parent as) this node. A node is its own sibling. If anotherNode is null, returns false.

Parameters

anotherNodenode to test as sibling of this node

Return

true if anotherNode is a sibling of this node

getSiblingCount

public function getSiblingCount():Number

Return

the sibling of this node that immediately follows this node

See Also

Returns the previous sibling of this node in the parent's children array. Returns null if this node has no parent or is the parent's first child. This method performs a linear search that is O(n) where n is the number of children.

Return

the sibling of this node that immediately precedes this node

isLeaf

public function isLeaf():Boolean

Returns true if this node has no children. To distinguish between nodes that have no children and nodes that cannot have children (e.g. to distinguish files from empty directories), use this method in conjunction with getAllowsChildren

Return

true if this node has no children

getFirstLeaf

public function getFirstLeaf():FvAbstractTreeNode

Finds and returns the first leaf that is a descendant of this node -- either this node or its first child's first leaf. Returns this node if it is a leaf.

Return

the first leaf in the subtree rooted at this node

getLastLeaf

public function getLastLeaf():FvAbstractTreeNode

Finds and returns the last leaf that is a descendant of this node -- either this node or its last child's last leaf. Returns this node if it is a leaf.

Return

the last leaf in the subtree rooted at this node

See Also

getNextLeaf

public function getNextLeaf():FvAbstractTreeNode

Returns the leaf after this node or null if this node is the last leaf in the tree.

In this implementation of the MutableNode interface, this operation is very inefficient. In order to determine the next node, this method first performs a linear search in the parent's child-list in order to find the current node.

That implementation makes the operation suitable for short traversals from a known position. But to traverse all of the leaves in the tree, you should use depthFirstEnumeration to enumerate the nodes in the tree and use isLeaf on each node to determine which are leaves.

Return

returns the next leaf past this node

getPreviousLeaf

public function getPreviousLeaf():FvAbstractTreeNode

Returns the leaf before this node or null if this node is the first leaf in the tree.

In this implementation of the MutableNode interface, this operation is very inefficient. In order to determine the previous node, this method first performs a linear search in the parent's child-list in order to find the current node.

Return

returns the leaf before this node

getLeafCount

public function getLeafCount():Number

Returns the total number of leaves that are descendants of this node. If this node is a leaf, returns 1. This method is O(n) where n is the number of descendants of this node.

Return

the number of leaves beneath this node
