This software allows users to organize relational records in a spreadsheet format that is hierarchical in structure. It enables efficient data management and allows for easy analysis and manipulation of data in a structured manner.
In these applications, users tend to prefer seeing data in a spreadsheet type format, with columns representing timelines and rows depicting measures like inventory, sales, and so on. The data itself usually resides internally as relational records, like with sales information.
The user will typically want to view this information in a hierarchical or spreadsheet display, and with web-based business applications, similar views are created using html/jsp coding. On the other hand, Gtk2::TreeView is an excellent widget for desktop applications that can display a similar presentation of data.
However, creating a hierarchical TreeView from flat relational data can require some recursive function coding. Gtk2::Ex::TreeMaker abstracts out all the recursive code and packages it separately, which then creates a hierarchical TreeView from the relational data. The process involves invoking some recursive functions to build a TreeModel and populate it.
The software also offers a FreezePane capability since the spreadsheet itself could be rather lengthy horizontally. In conclusion, Gtk2::Ex::TreeMaker is an excellent software tool for easier TreeView creation, especially for those who work with relational data.
