The GoDiagram component makes it easy for .NET and Java programmers to develop applications with OrgCharts and other tree structures, like the DataSetDemo on the right shows.

Hierarchies allow you to visualize the relationships between levels in a set of data. For example, an Org Chart shows the top down structure of a company or organization.

Other domains that use Hierarchical Trees

Hierarchical trees are used to display

• Breakdown of tasks in a Mind Map
• Organization of a computer network
• Family History and Genealogy Records
• Evolutionary processes (phylogenetic trees)
• Software Development and CASE tool information
• Directory Structures
• Decision trees / decision support
• Game trees
• Binary Search trees
• Project Management: work breakdown structures
• Linguistics (syntax) / Phrase structure trees

Types of trees

Trees can be represented as simple node-link diagrams, as shown in the GoDiagram component TreeApp sample application.

But diagrams can also use nested sets of objects that use enclosure/containment to show parenthood, as the GoDiagram SubGraphApp demonstrates.

GoDiagram also supports Collapsing and Expanding levels of the tree. This ability to hide complexity is critical to many diagram based visualizations.

Other Sample Applications

GoDiagram for .NET (WinForms) and ASP.NET (WebForms) comes with over 30 sample applications. Many of these samples use Trees or tree-like graphs:

OrgCharter	Object Browser	BeatPaths	Classier	Family Tree	Double Tree

Click on any of the samples above to see our full selection of sample applications, which come with full source, in both c# and vb.net (Visual Basic.Net). Or click here to launch any of these applications running as an ASP.NET application in your browser.
