Algorithm for Drawing Trees
It's a source of ongoing perplexity to me that so many Linux file managers don't even offer a tree view, never mind some of the more advanced possibilities. Consider Robertson's work on Cone Trees from Xerox Parc in....1991.<p><a href="https://research.tableau.com/sites/default/files/p189-robertson.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://research.tableau.com/sites/default/files/p189-robert...</a><p>and variants thereof at <a href="https://infovis-wiki.net/wiki/Cone_Trees" rel="nofollow">https://infovis-wiki.net/wiki/Cone_Trees</a><p>Oddly, there has been some work done on <i>source code</i> trees such as Gource, but for some reason nobody has yet thought of applying this to file systems or browser navigation paths.<p><a href="https://gource.io/" rel="nofollow">https://gource.io/</a>
