<para>
The Tree widget provides geometry management of arbitrary widgets arranged
in a directed, acyclic graph (i.e., a tree).  The hierarchy is constructed
by attaching a constraint resource called <function>treeParent</function> to each widget
indicating which other node in the tree should be treated as the widget's
superior.  The structure of the tree is shown by laying out the nodes
in the standard format for tree diagrams with lines drawn connecting each
node with its children.
</para>

<para>
The Tree sizes itself according to the needs of its children and is not
intended to be resized by its parent.  Instead, it should be placed inside
another composite widget (such as the <function>Porthole</function> or <function>Viewport</function>)
that can be used to scroll around in the tree.
</para>

Each time a child is managed or unmanaged, the Tree widget will attempt
to reposition the remaining children to fix the shape of the tree if the

resource is set.  Children at the top (most superior) of the tree are
drawn at the side specified by the resource.
