Direct Known Subclasses:: JTree.DynamicUtilTreeNode

public class DefaultMutableTreeNode
extends Object
implements Cloneable, MutableTreeNode, Serializable

A DefaultMutableTreeNode is a general-purpose node in a tree data structure. A tree node may have at most one parent and 0 or more children. DefaultMutableTreeNode provides operations for examining and modifying a node's parent and children and also operations for examining the tree that the node is a part of. A node's tree is the set of all nodes that can be reached by starting at the node and following all the possible links to parents and children. A node with no parent is the root of its tree; a node with no children is a leaf. A tree may consist of many subtrees, each node acting as the root for its own subtree.

This class provides enumerations for efficiently traversing a tree or subtree in various orders or for following the path between two nodes. A DefaultMutableTreeNode may also hold a reference to a user object, the use of which is left to the user. Asking a DefaultMutableTreeNode for its string representation with toString() returns the string representation of its user object.

This is not a thread safe class.If you intend to use a DefaultMutableTreeNode (or a tree of TreeNodes) in more than one thread, you need to do your own synchronizing. A good convention to adopt is synchronizing on the root node of a tree.

While DefaultMutableTreeNode implements the MutableTreeNode interface and will allow you to add in any implementation of MutableTreeNode not all of the methods in DefaultMutableTreeNode will be applicable to all MutableTreeNodes implementations. Especially with some of the enumerations that are provided, using some of these methods assumes the DefaultMutableTreeNode contains only DefaultMutableNode instances. All of the TreeNode/MutableTreeNode methods will behave as defined no matter what implementations are added.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Parameters:: newChild - node to add as a child of this node
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if newChild is null; IllegalStateException - if this node does not allow children
See Also:: insert(javax.swing.tree.MutableTreeNode, int)

isNodeAncestor

public boolean isNodeAncestor(TreeNode anotherNode)

Returns true if anotherNode is an ancestor of this node -- if it is this node, this node's parent, or an ancestor of this node's parent. (Note that a node is considered an ancestor of itself.) If anotherNode is null, this method returns false. This operation is at worst O(h) where h is the distance from the root to this node.

Parameters:: anotherNode - node to test as an ancestor of this node
Returns:: true if this node is a descendant of anotherNode

Returns true if anotherNode is a descendant of this node -- if it is this node, one of this node's children, or a descendant of one of this node's children. Note that a node is considered a descendant of itself. If anotherNode is null, returns false. This operation is at worst O(h) where h is the distance from the root to anotherNode.

Parameters:: anotherNode - node to test as descendant of this node
Returns:: true if this node is an ancestor of anotherNode
See Also:: isNodeAncestor(javax.swing.tree.TreeNode), getSharedAncestor(javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode)

getSharedAncestor

public TreeNode getSharedAncestor(DefaultMutableTreeNode aNode)

Returns the nearest common ancestor to this node and aNode. Returns null, if no such ancestor exists -- if this node and aNode are in different trees or if aNode is null. A node is considered an ancestor of itself.

Parameters:: aNode - node to find common ancestor with

See Also:: isNodeAncestor(javax.swing.tree.TreeNode), isNodeDescendant(javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode)

See Also:: getSharedAncestor(javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode), getRoot()

getDepth

public int getDepth()

Returns the depth of the tree rooted at this node -- the longest distance from this node to a leaf. If this node has no children, returns 0. This operation is much more expensive than getLevel() because it must effectively traverse the entire tree rooted at this node.

Returns:: the depth of the tree whose root is this node
See Also:: getLevel()

getLevel

public int getLevel()

Returns the number of levels above this node -- the distance from the root to this node. If this node is the root, returns 0.

getPath

public TreeNode[] getPath()

Returns the path from the root, to get to this node. The last element in the path is this node.

Returns:: an array of TreeNode objects giving the path, where the first element in the path is the root and the last element is this node.

getPathToRoot

protected TreeNode[] getPathToRoot(TreeNode aNode,
                                   int depth)

Builds the parents of node up to and including the root node, where the original node is the last element in the returned array. The length of the returned array gives the node's depth in the tree.

Parameters:: aNode - the TreeNode to get the path for; depth - an int giving the number of steps already taken towards the root (on recursive calls), used to size the returned array
Returns:: an array of TreeNodes giving the path from the root to the specified node

getUserObjectPath

public Object[] getUserObjectPath()

Returns the user object path, from the root, to get to this node. If some of the TreeNodes in the path have null user objects, the returned path will contain nulls.

getRoot

public TreeNode getRoot()

Returns the root of the tree that contains this node. The root is the ancestor with a null parent.

Returns:: the root of the tree that contains this node
See Also:: isNodeAncestor(javax.swing.tree.TreeNode)

isRoot

public boolean isRoot()

Returns:: true if this node is the root of its tree

getNextNode

public DefaultMutableTreeNode getNextNode()

Returns the node that follows this node in a preorder traversal of this node's tree. Returns null if this node is the last node of the traversal. This is an inefficient way to traverse the entire tree; use an enumeration, instead.

Returns:: the node that follows this node in a preorder traversal, or null if this node is last
See Also:: preorderEnumeration()

getPreviousNode

public DefaultMutableTreeNode getPreviousNode()

Returns the node that precedes this node in a preorder traversal of this node's tree. Returns null if this node is the first node of the traveral -- the root of the tree. This is an inefficient way to traverse the entire tree; use an enumeration, instead.

Returns:: the node that precedes this node in a preorder traversal, or null if this node is the first
See Also:: preorderEnumeration()

preorderEnumeration

public Enumeration preorderEnumeration()

Creates and returns an enumeration that traverses the subtree rooted at this node in preorder. The first node returned by the enumeration's nextElement() method is this node.
