TreeStructureNavigator Class Referenceabstract

#include "stage/interact/ui-coord-resolver.hpp"

Description

Interface to locate and move within a tree shaped structure.

The actual nature of this structure is to be kept abstracted through this interface. The purpose of this construct is to build evaluations and matching operations on top.

◆ expandChildren()

virtual TreeStructureNavigator* expandChildren ( ) const
pure virtual

expand into exploration of child elements at "current position".

At any point, a TreeStructureNavicator instance indicates and represents a position within a tree-like structure. At the same time, it is part of a sequence of siblings, which is accessible through iteration. This operation now allows to extend visitation of siblings by consuming the current element and replacing it with the sequence of its immediate child elements, exposing the first one as the _"current position"_.

Returns
pointer to a new heap allocated TreeStructureNavigator implementation, which represents the sequence of children. The object this will not be affected.
Note
it is the caller's responsibility to own and manage the generated navigator. The typical (and recommended) way to achieve this is to rely on the embedded type #iterator, which exposes an appropriately wired iterator::expandChildren()

◆ buildIterator()

static auto buildIterator ( TreeStructureNavigator source)
inlinestatic

build a Lumiera Forward Iterator as front-end and managing Handle for a TreeStructureNavigator or subclass.

The provided pointer is assumed to point to heap allocated storage.

Returns
copyable iterator front-end handle, which allows to retrieve once all values yielded by this IterSource. The front-end takes ownership of the given object.
Note
the generated iterator is preconfigured to allow for _"child expansion"_, thereby calling through the virtual API function expandChildren()
