All Implemented Interfaces:
  `ImageObserver`, `MenuContainer`, `Serializable`, `Accessible`, `Scrollable`

@JavaBean(defaultProperty="UI", description="A component that displays a set of hierarchical data as an outline.") public class JTree extends JComponent implements Scrollable, Accessible
A control that displays a set of hierarchical data as an outline. You can find task-oriented documentation and examples of using trees in How to Use Trees, a section in The Java Tutorial.

A specific node in a tree can be identified either by a `TreePath` (an object that encapsulates a node and all of its ancestors), or by its display row, where each row in the display area displays one node. An expanded node is a non-leaf node (as identified by `TreeModel.isLeaf(node)` returning false) that will displays its children when all its ancestors are expanded. A collapsed node is one which hides them. A hidden node is one which is under a collapsed ancestor. All of a viewable nodes parents are expanded, but may or may not be displayed. A displayed node is both viewable and in the display area, where it can be seen.

The following `JTree` methods use "visible" to mean "displayed":

- `isRootVisible()`
- `setRootVisible()`
- `scrollPathToVisible()`
- `scrollRowToVisible()`
- `getVisibleRowCount()`
- `setVisibleRowCount()`

The next group of `JTree` methods use "visible" to mean "viewable" (under an expanded parent):

- `isVisible()`
- `makeVisible()`

If you are interested in knowing when the selection changes implement the `TreeSelectionListener` interface and add the instance using the method `addTreeSelectionListener`. `valueChanged` will be invoked when the selection changes, that is if the user clicks twice on the same node `valueChanged` will only be invoked once.

If you are interested in detecting either double-click events or when a user clicks on a node, regardless of whether or not it was selected, we recommend you do the following:

     final JTree tree = ...;

     MouseListener ml = new MouseAdapter() {
         public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
             int selRow = tree.getRowForLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
             TreePath selPath = tree.getPathForLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
             if(selRow != -1) {
                 if(e.getClickCount() == 1) {
                     mySingleClick(selRow, selPath);
                 }
                 else if(e.getClickCount() == 2) {
                     myDoubleClick(selRow, selPath);
                 }
             }
         }
     };
     tree.addMouseListener(ml);

NOTE: This example obtains both the path and row, but you only need to get the one you're interested in.

To use `JTree` to display compound nodes (for example, nodes containing both a graphic icon and text), subclass `TreeCellRenderer` and use `setCellRenderer(javax.swing.tree.TreeCellRenderer)` to tell the tree to use it. To edit such nodes, subclass `TreeCellEditor` and use `setCellEditor(javax.swing.tree.TreeCellEditor)`.

Like all `JComponent` classes, you can use `InputMap` and `ActionMap` to associate an `Action` object with a `KeyStroke` and execute the action under specified conditions.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

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. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

  1.2

The model that defines the tree displayed by this object.

### selectionModel

protected transient TreeSelectionModel selectionModel
Models the set of selected nodes in this tree.

### rootVisible

protected boolean rootVisible
True if the root node is displayed, false if its children are the highest visible nodes.

### cellRenderer

protected transient TreeCellRenderer cellRenderer
The cell used to draw nodes. If `null`, the UI uses a default `cellRenderer`.

### rowHeight

protected int rowHeight
Height to use for each display row. If this is <= 0 the renderer determines the height for each row.

### showsRootHandles

protected boolean showsRootHandles
True if handles are displayed at the topmost level of the tree.

A handle is a small icon that displays adjacent to the node which allows the user to click once to expand or collapse the node. A common interface shows a plus sign (+) for a node which can be expanded and a minus sign (-) for a node which can be collapsed. Handles are always shown for nodes below the topmost level.

If the `rootVisible` setting specifies that the root node is to be displayed, then that is the only node at the topmost level. If the root node is not displayed, then all of its children are at the topmost level of the tree. Handles are always displayed for nodes other than the topmost.

If the root node isn't visible, it is generally a good to make this value true. Otherwise, the tree looks exactly like a list, and users may not know that the "list entries" are actually tree nodes.

See Also:
  - `rootVisible`

### selectionRedirector

protected transient JTree.TreeSelectionRedirector selectionRedirector
Creates a new event and passed it off the `selectionListeners`.

### cellEditor

protected transient TreeCellEditor cellEditor
Editor for the entries. Default is `null` (tree is not editable).

### editable

protected boolean editable
Is the tree editable? Default is false.

### largeModel

protected boolean largeModel
Is this tree a large model? This is a code-optimization setting. A large model can be used when the cell height is the same for all nodes. The UI will then cache very little information and instead continually message the model. Without a large model the UI caches most of the information, resulting in fewer method calls to the model.

This value is only a suggestion to the UI. Not all UIs will take advantage of it. Default value is false.

### visibleRowCount

protected int visibleRowCount
Number of rows to make visible at one time. This value is used for the `Scrollable` interface. It determines the preferred size of the display area.

### invokesStopCellEditing

protected boolean invokesStopCellEditing
If true, when editing is to be stopped by way of selection changing, data in tree changing or other means `stopCellEditing` is invoked, and changes are saved. If false, `cancelCellEditing` is invoked, and changes are discarded. Default is false.

### scrollsOnExpand

protected boolean scrollsOnExpand
If true, when a node is expanded, as many of the descendants are scrolled to be visible.

### toggleClickCount

protected int toggleClickCount
Number of mouse clicks before a node is expanded.

### treeModelListener

protected transient TreeModelListener treeModelListener
Updates the `expandedState`.

See Also:
  - `largeModel`

### setInvokesStopCellEditing

@BeanProperty(description="Determines what happens when editing is interrupted, selecting another node in the tree, a change in the tree's data, or some other means.") public void setInvokesStopCellEditing(boolean newValue)
Determines what happens when editing is interrupted by selecting another node in the tree, a change in the tree's data, or by some other means. Setting this property to `true` causes the changes to be automatically saved when editing is interrupted.

Fires a property change for the INVOKES_STOP_CELL_EDITING_PROPERTY.

Parameters:

Returns:
  the indicator that tells what happens when editing is interrupted
See Also:
  - `setInvokesStopCellEditing(boolean)`

### setScrollsOnExpand

@BeanProperty(description="Indicates if a node descendant should be scrolled when expanded.") public void setScrollsOnExpand(boolean newValue)
Sets the `scrollsOnExpand` property, which determines whether the tree might scroll to show previously hidden children. If this property is `true` (the default), when a node expands the tree can use scrolling to make the maximum possible number of the node's descendants visible. In some look and feels, trees might not need to scroll when expanded; those look and feels will ignore this property.

This is a bound property.

Parameters:
  `newValue` - `false` to disable scrolling on expansion; `true` to enable it
See Also:
  - `getScrollsOnExpand()`

### getScrollsOnExpand

public boolean getScrollsOnExpand()

Parameters:
  `clickCount` - the number of mouse clicks to get a node expanded or closed
Since:
  1.3

### getToggleClickCount

public int getToggleClickCount()
Returns the number of mouse clicks needed to expand or close a node.

Returns:
  number of mouse clicks before node is expanded
Since:
  1.3

### setExpandsSelectedPaths

@BeanProperty(description="Indicates whether changes to the selection should make the parent of the path visible.") public void setExpandsSelectedPaths(boolean newValue)
Configures the `expandsSelectedPaths` property. If true, any time the selection is changed, either via the `TreeSelectionModel`, or the cover methods provided by `JTree`, the `TreePath`s parents will be expanded to make them visible (visible meaning the parent path is expanded, not necessarily in the visible rectangle of the `JTree`). If false, when the selection changes the nodes parent is not made visible (all its parents expanded). This is useful if you wish to have your selection model maintain paths that are not always visible (all parents expanded).

This is a bound property.

Parameters:
  `newValue` - the new value for `expandsSelectedPaths`
Since:
  1.3

### getExpandsSelectedPaths

public boolean getExpandsSelectedPaths()
Returns the `expandsSelectedPaths` property.

Returns:
  true if selection changes result in the parent path being expanded
Since:
  1.3
See Also:
  - `setExpandsSelectedPaths(boolean)`

### setDragEnabled

@BeanProperty(bound=false, description="determines whether automatic drag handling is enabled") public void setDragEnabled(boolean b)
Turns on or off automatic drag handling. In order to enable automatic drag handling, this property should be set to `true`, and the tree's `TransferHandler` needs to be `non-null`. The default value of the `dragEnabled` property is `false`.

The job of honoring this property, and recognizing a user drag gesture, lies with the look and feel implementation, and in particular, the tree's `TreeUI`. When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels (including those that subclass `BasicLookAndFeel`) begin a drag and drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over an item and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to `true` can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave.

If a look and feel is used that ignores this property, you can still begin a drag and drop operation by calling `exportAsDrag` on the tree's `TransferHandler`.

Parameters:
  `b` - whether or not to enable automatic drag handling
Throws:
  `HeadlessException` - if `b` is `true` and `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()` returns `true`
Since:
  1.4
See Also:
  - `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()`
  - `getDragEnabled()`
  - `JComponent.setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler)`
  - `TransferHandler`

### getDragEnabled

public boolean getDragEnabled()
Returns whether or not automatic drag handling is enabled.

Returns:
  the value of the `dragEnabled` property
Since:
  1.4
See Also:
  - `setDragEnabled(boolean)`

### setDropMode

public final void setDropMode(DropMode dropMode)
Sets the drop mode for this component. For backward compatibility, the default for this property is `DropMode.USE_SELECTION`. Usage of one of the other modes is recommended, however, for an improved user experience. `DropMode.ON`, for instance, offers similar behavior of showing items as selected, but does so without affecting the actual selection in the tree.

`JTree` supports the following drop modes:

- `DropMode.USE_SELECTION`
- `DropMode.ON`
- `DropMode.INSERT`
- `DropMode.ON_OR_INSERT`

The drop mode is only meaningful if this component has a `TransferHandler` that accepts drops.

Parameters:
  `dropMode` - the drop mode to use
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if the drop mode is unsupported or `null`
Since:
  1.6
See Also:
  - `getDropMode()`
  - `getDropLocation()`
  - `JComponent.setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler)`
  - `TransferHandler`

### getDropMode

public final DropMode getDropMode()
Returns the drop mode for this component.

Returns:
  the drop mode for this component
Since:
  1.6
See Also:
  - `setDropMode(javax.swing.DropMode)`

### getDropLocation

@BeanProperty(bound=false) public final JTree.DropLocation getDropLocation()
Returns the location that this component should visually indicate as the drop location during a DnD operation over the component, or `null` if no location is to currently be shown.

This method is not meant for querying the drop location from a `TransferHandler`, as the drop location is only set after the `TransferHandler`'s `canImport` has returned and has allowed for the location to be shown.

When this property changes, a property change event with name "dropLocation" is fired by the component.

Returns:
  the drop location
Since:
  1.6
See Also:
  - `setDropMode(javax.swing.DropMode)`
  - `TransferHandler.canImport(TransferHandler.TransferSupport)`

### isPathEditable

public boolean isPathEditable(TreePath path)
Returns `isEditable`. This is invoked from the UI before editing begins to ensure that the given path can be edited. This is provided as an entry point for subclassers to add filtered editing without having to resort to creating a new editor.

Parameters:
  `path` - a `TreePath` identifying a node
Returns:
  true if every parent node and the node itself is editable
See Also:
  - `isEditable()`

### getToolTipText

public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent event)
Overrides `JComponent`'s `getToolTipText` method in order to allow renderer's tips to be used if it has text set.

NOTE: For `JTree` to properly display tooltips of its renderers, `JTree` must be a registered component with the `ToolTipManager`. This can be done by invoking `ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().registerComponent(tree)`. This is not done automatically!

Overrides:
  `getToolTipText` in class `JComponent`
Parameters:
  `event` - the `MouseEvent` that initiated the `ToolTip` display
Returns:
  a string containing the tooltip or `null` if `event` is null

### convertValueToText

public String convertValueToText(Object value, boolean selected, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus)
Called by the renderers to convert the specified value to text. This implementation returns `value.toString`, ignoring all other arguments. To control the conversion, subclass this method and use any of the arguments you need.

Parameters:
  `value` - the `Object` to convert to text
  `selected` - true if the node is selected
  `expanded` - true if the node is expanded
  `leaf` - true if the node is a leaf node
  `row` - an integer specifying the node's display row, where 0 is the first row in the display
  `hasFocus` - true if the node has the focus
Returns:
  the `String` representation of the node's value

### getRowCount

@BeanProperty(bound=false) public int getRowCount()
Returns the number of viewable nodes. A node is viewable if all of its parents are expanded. The root is only included in this count if `isRootVisible()` is `true`. This returns `0` if the UI has not been set.

Returns:
  the number of viewable nodes

### setSelectionPath

public void setSelectionPath(TreePath path)
Selects the node identified by the specified path. If any component of the path is hidden (under a collapsed node), and `getExpandsSelectedPaths` is true it is exposed (made viewable).

Parameters:
  `path` - the `TreePath` specifying the node to select

### setSelectionPaths

public void setSelectionPaths(TreePath[] paths)
Selects the nodes identified by the specified array of paths. If any component in any of the paths is hidden (under a collapsed node), and `getExpandsSelectedPaths` is true it is exposed (made viewable).

Parameters:
  `paths` - an array of `TreePath` objects that specifies the nodes to select

### setLeadSelectionPath

@BeanProperty(description="Lead selection path") public void setLeadSelectionPath(TreePath newPath)

This is a bound property.

Parameters:
  `newPath` - the new lead path
Since:
  1.3

### setAnchorSelectionPath

@BeanProperty(description="Anchor selection path") public void setAnchorSelectionPath(TreePath newPath)

Parameters:
  `row` - the row to select, where 0 is the first row in the display

### setSelectionRows

public void setSelectionRows(int[] rows)
Selects the nodes corresponding to each of the specified rows in the display. If a particular element of `rows` is < 0 or >= `getRowCount`, it will be ignored. If none of the elements in `rows` are valid rows, the selection will be cleared. That is it will be as if `clearSelection` was invoked.

Parameters:
  `rows` - an array of ints specifying the rows to select, where 0 indicates the first row in the display

### addSelectionPath

public void addSelectionPath(TreePath path)
Adds the node identified by the specified `TreePath` to the current selection. If any component of the path isn't viewable, and `getExpandsSelectedPaths` is true it is made viewable.

Note that `JTree` does not allow duplicate nodes to exist as children under the same parent -- each sibling must be a unique object.

Parameters:
  `path` - the `TreePath` to add

### addSelectionPaths

public void addSelectionPaths(TreePath[] paths)
Adds each path in the array of paths to the current selection. If any component of any of the paths isn't viewable and `getExpandsSelectedPaths` is true, it is made viewable.

### getPathBetweenRows

protected TreePath[] getPathBetweenRows(int index0, int index1)
Returns the paths (inclusive) between the specified rows. If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the indices are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the specified indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then an empty array is returned. For example, if the row count is `10`, and this method is invoked with `-1, 20`, then the specified indices are constrained to the viewable set of rows, and this is treated as if invoked with `0, 9`. On the other hand, if this were invoked with `-10, -1`, then the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows, and an empty array is returned.

The parameters are not order dependent. That is, `getPathBetweenRows(x, y)` is equivalent to `getPathBetweenRows(y, x)`.

An empty array is returned if the row count is `0`, or the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows.

Parameters:
  `index0` - the first index in the range
  `index1` - the last index in the range
Returns:
  the paths (inclusive) between the specified row indices

### setSelectionInterval

public void setSelectionInterval(int index0, int index1)
Selects the rows in the specified interval (inclusive). If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the specified rows are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the specified indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then the selection is cleared. For example, if the row count is `10`, and this method is invoked with `-1, 20`, then the specified indices bounds the viewable range, and this is treated as if invoked with `0, 9`. On the other hand, if this were invoked with `-10, -1`, then the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows, and the selection is cleared.

The parameters are not order dependent. That is, `setSelectionInterval(x, y)` is equivalent to `setSelectionInterval(y, x)`.

Parameters:
  `index0` - the first index in the range to select
  `index1` - the last index in the range to select

### addSelectionInterval

public void addSelectionInterval(int index0, int index1)
Adds the specified rows (inclusive) to the selection. If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the specified indices are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then the selection is unchanged. For example, if the row count is `10`, and this method is invoked with `-1, 20`, then the specified indices bounds the viewable range, and this is treated as if invoked with `0, 9`. On the other hand, if this were invoked with `-10, -1`, then the specified indices do not bound the viewable set of rows, and the selection is unchanged.

The parameters are not order dependent. That is, `addSelectionInterval(x, y)` is equivalent to `addSelectionInterval(y, x)`.

Parameters:
  `index0` - the first index in the range to add to the selection
  `index1` - the last index in the range to add to the selection

### removeSelectionInterval

public void removeSelectionInterval(int index0, int index1)
Removes the specified rows (inclusive) from the selection. If the specified indices are within the viewable set of rows, or bound the viewable set of rows, then the specified indices are constrained by the viewable set of rows. If the specified indices are not within the viewable set of rows, or do not bound the viewable set of rows, then the selection is unchanged. For example, if the row count is `10`, and this method is invoked with `-1, 20`, then the specified range bounds the viewable range, and this is treated as if invoked with `0, 9`. On the other hand, if this were invoked with `-10, -1`, then the specified range does not bound the viewable set of rows, and the selection is unchanged.

The parameters are not order dependent. That is, `removeSelectionInterval(x, y)` is equivalent to `removeSelectionInterval(y, x)`.

Parameters:
  `index0` - the first row to remove from the selection
  `index1` - the last row to remove from the selection
