To illustrate big trees from anytree
in tkinter
I use Treeview
. My aim is to horizontally adjust (dynamically) the size of the column where the data of the Treeview
object is stored after resizing the window. I tried to put the Treeview
object itself in some Frame
and make it with some sticky="ew"
. For some reason my idea doesn't have any effect.
P.S.: I know I can set the width
of the column
with
self.treeview.column("# 1",anchor=CENTER, stretch=YES, width=1000)
and the problem in the case of this tree is solved. But I need some dynamical solution for arbitrary trees from anytree
.
Hopefully you can help and show me how to solve this problem.
My code:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from anytree import Node, RenderTree, AsciiStyle, PreOrderIter
# anytree definition
udo = Node("Udo the very first king of London and Manchester, born in China and studied in Japan.")
marc = Node("Marc the second monarch of south carolina married Isabel the very first arab princess.", parent=udo)
class AnyTreeView(Toplevel):
'''
Illustrates some anytree treeview into some
'''
def __init__(self, master, tree ):
super().__init__(master = master)
self.resizable(width=True, height=False)
self.main_frame = Frame(self)
self.main_frame.grid(row=1,column=1,sticky="ew")
self.title('AnyTreeView')
self.tree = tree
h = len([node.name for node in PreOrderIter(tree)])
self.treeview = ttk.Treeview(self.main_frame, column=("c1"), height = h)
self.treeview.column("# 1",anchor=CENTER, stretch=YES)
self.treeview.pack(expand=True, fill='y')
def generate(self):
'''
Dynamically generates the treeview object with the nodes from the parameter tree.
'''
index = 0
for node in PreOrderIter(self.tree):
print(node.name)
self.treeview.insert('',f'{index}', node.name, text = node.name)
index = index + 1
for node in PreOrderIter(self.tree):
for child in node.children:
self.treeview.move(child.name, node.name, 'end')
def m_tree():
tv = AnyTreeView(root, udo)
tv.generate()
root = Tk()
bt = Button(text ="Tree", command = m_tree)
bt.pack()
root.mainloop()
