how to render only part of tree?

julia> tt = Term.Trees.Tree(AbstractFloat)

       └── Integer           




julia> tt.nodes[1]

I don't really know any of the internals to Term, but I was looking at PkgDependency and I wanted to look at specific subtrees.

I wanted to make it just work with the AbstractTrees.jl interface, but AbstractTrees.children(t::Term.Trees.Tree) = t.nodes doesn't seem like it works as I expected.

I really like the pretty printing, but it doesn't seem like subtrees are shown the same way

thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately Term's Tree doesn't currently work with other tree APIs such as AbstractTrees. It's also not currently designed to do things like looking at sub-trees and so on. You can think of it as just creating the visual representation of the data as a tree, without constructing a proper tree data structure.

Ideally, there would be a way to just show AbstractTrees-like objects using Term's representation, but I haven't had a chance to work on that yet.

I went back to this, working on it: #187
