Shajara

Shajara allows you to draw your trees in a simple GUI. The tree is then automatically converted to a string representation for QTree, forest and other LateX tree-drawing packages. (It is a port of the earlier TreeMaker to Qt, with a lot of improvements)

Requirements

• Python 3
• PyQt5

Use

In the display:

• Left Click on node to insert daughter nodes or sisters
• Right Click on node to remove node's daughters
• Middle Click (i.e. wheel click) to drag display
• Mouse Wheel to zoom in and out
• Ctrl+Left Click to select node's label in the text field on the right

In the text field:

• Press Enter to copy to clipboard
• Press Tab to move to next node (next in the sense of reverse Polish notation, i.e. ascendants follow descendants)

Buttons:

• C : clear node labels
• I : if you copied a string representation of a tree from another program, imports the tree into Shajara (only QTree for now).

Options

Two customizations files are available in the "options/" folder. They are "options/style/style.json" (for tree display style) and "options/behavior/behavior.json" (for button mapping, experimental).

Installation

Manually

Simply save "src/" from the current repository on your computer. After checking that the Python packages listed in Requirements above are installed, go to the folder you copied the files to and run:

python main.py
