      public class Tree
      extends RecordList
      implements HasDataChangedHandlers

  A Tree is a data model representing a set of objects linked into a hierarchy.

  A Tree has no visual presentation, it is displayed by a `TreeGrid` or `ColumnTree` when supplied as `data` or `data`.

  A Tree can be constructed out of a List of objects interlinked by IDs or via explicitly specified Arrays of child objects. See `modelType` for an explanation of how to pass data to a Tree.

  Typical usage is to call `TreeGrid.fetchData()` to cause automatic creation of a `ResultTree`, which is a type of Tree that automatically handles loading data on demand. For information on DataBinding Trees, see `TreeDataBinding`.

      The property consulted by the default implementation of `Tree.isOpen()` to determine if the node is open or not. By default, this property is auto-generated for you, but you can set it to a custom value if you want to declaratively specify this state, but be careful - if you display this Tree in multiple TreeGrids at the same time, the open state will not be tracked independently - see `SharingNodes` for more info on this.

      Note : This is an advanced setting

      Parameters:
        `openProperty` - Default value is null
      See Also:
        Initial Data & Load on Demand Example

    - #### getOpenProperty

          public java.lang.String getOpenProperty()

      The property consulted by the default implementation of `Tree.isOpen()` to determine if the node is open or not. By default, this property is auto-generated for you, but you can set it to a custom value if you want to declaratively specify this state, but be careful - if you display this Tree in multiple TreeGrids at the same time, the open state will not be tracked independently - see `SharingNodes` for more info on this.
      Returns:
        String

    - #### setParentIdField

          public void setParentIdField(java.lang.String parentIdField)
                                throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

      For trees with modelType "parent", this property specifies the name of the property that contains the unique parent ID of a node. Default value is "parentId". See `parentId` for usage.

      Note : This is an advanced setting

      Parameters:
        `parentIdField` - Default value is "parentId"
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created
      See Also:
        `com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode#setParentId`, Node Titles Example

    - #### getParentIdField

          public java.lang.String getParentIdField()

      For trees with modelType "parent", this property specifies the name of the property that contains the unique parent ID of a node. Default value is "parentId". See `parentId` for usage.
      Returns:
        String
      See Also:
        `com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode#getParentId`, Node Titles Example

    - #### setPathDelim

          public void setPathDelim(java.lang.String pathDelim)

      Specifies the delimiter between node names. The pathDelim is used to construct a unique path to each node. A path can be obtained for any node by calling `Tree.getPath()` and can be used to find any node in the tree by calling `Tree.find()`. Note that you can also hand-construct a path - in other words you are not required to call `Tree.getPath()` in order to later use `Tree.find()` to retrieve it.
      The pathDelim can be any character or sequence of characters, but must be a unique string with respect to the text that can appear in the `nameProperty` that's used for naming the nodes. So for example, if you have the following tree:

            one
              two
                three/four

      Then you will be unable to find the `three/four` node using `Tree.find()` if your tree is using the default pathDelim of /. In such a case, you can use a different pathDelim for the tree. For example if you used | for the path delim, then you can find the `three/four` node in the tree above by calling `tree.find("one|two|three/four")`.
      The pathDelim is used only by `Tree.getPath()` and `Tree.find()` and does not affect any aspect of the tree structure or other forms of tree navigation (such as via `Tree.getChildren()`).

      Note : This is an advanced setting

      Parameters:
        `pathDelim` - Default value is "/"
      See Also:
        `setNameProperty(java.lang.String)`, `find(java.lang.String)`

    - #### getPathDelim

          public java.lang.String getPathDelim()

      Specifies the delimiter between node names. The pathDelim is used to construct a unique path to each node. A path can be obtained for any node by calling `Tree.getPath()` and can be used to find any node in the tree by calling `Tree.find()`. Note that you can also hand-construct a path - in other words you are not required to call `Tree.getPath()` in order to later use `Tree.find()` to retrieve it.
      The pathDelim can be any character or sequence of characters, but must be a unique string with respect to the text that can appear in the `nameProperty` that's used for naming the nodes. So for example, if you have the following tree:

            one
              two
                three/four

      Then you will be unable to find the `three/four` node using `Tree.find()` if your tree is using the default pathDelim of /. In such a case, you can use a different pathDelim for the tree. For example if you used | for the path delim, then you can find the `three/four` node in the tree above by calling `tree.find("one|two|three/four")`.
      The pathDelim is used only by `Tree.getPath()` and `Tree.find()` and does not affect any aspect of the tree structure or other forms of tree navigation (such as via `Tree.getChildren()`).
      Returns:
        String
      See Also:
        `getNameProperty()`, `find(java.lang.String)`

    - #### setReportCollisions

          public void setReportCollisions(java.lang.Boolean reportCollisions)
                                   throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

      If new nodes are added to a tree with modelType:"parent" which have the same `id field value` as existing nodes, the existing nodes are removed when the new nodes are added.

      If reportCollisions is true, the Tree will log a warning in the developer console about this.

      Note that if an id collision occurs between a new node and its ancestor, the ancestor will be removed and the new node will not be added to the tree.

      Parameters:
        `reportCollisions` - Default value is true
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

    - #### getReportCollisions

          public java.lang.Boolean getReportCollisions()

      If new nodes are added to a tree with modelType:"parent" which have the same `id field value` as existing nodes, the existing nodes are removed when the new nodes are added.

      If reportCollisions is true, the Tree will log a warning in the developer console about this.

      Note that if an id collision occurs between a new node and its ancestor, the ancestor will be removed and the new node will not be added to the tree.

      Returns:
        Boolean

    - #### setRoot

          public void setRoot(TreeNode root)

      If you're using the "parent" modelType, you can provide the root node configuration via this property. If you don't provide it, one will be auto-created for you with an empty name. Read on for a description of what omitting the name property on the root node means for path derivation.

      If you're using the "children" modelType, you can provide the initial tree data via this property. So, for example, to construct the following tree:

            foo
              bar
            zoo

      You would initialize the tree as follows:

            Tree.create({
                root: { name:"root", children: [
                    { name:"foo", children: [
                        { name: "bar" }
                    ]},
                    { name: "zoo" }
                ]}
            });

      Note that if you provide a `name` property for the root node, then the path to any node underneath it will start with that name. So in the example above, the path to the `bar` node would be `root/foo/bar` (assuming you're using the default `pathDelim`. If you omit the name attribute on the root node, then its name is automatically set to the `pathDelim` value. So in the example above, if you omitted `name:"root"`, then the path to the `bar` node would be `/foo/bar`.
      Note: if you initialize a Tree with no `root` value, a root node will be auto-created for you. You can then call `Tree.add()` to construct the tree.
      If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Set the root node of the tree.
      Parameters:
        `root` - new root node. Default value is null

          public TreeNode getRoot()

      If you're using the "parent" modelType, you can provide the root node configuration via this property. If you don't provide it, one will be auto-created for you with an empty name. Read on for a description of what omitting the name property on the root node means for path derivation.

            Tree.create({
                root: { name:"root", children: [
                    { name:"foo", children: [
                        { name: "bar" }
                    ]},
                    { name: "zoo" }
                ]}
            });

    - #### setSeparateFolders

          public void setSeparateFolders(java.lang.Boolean separateFolders)

      Should folders be sorted separately from leaves or should nodes be ordered according to their sort field value regardless of whether the node is a leaf or folder?
      If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Setter for `separateFolders`.
      Parameters:
        `separateFolders` - new `separateFolders` value. Default value is false
      See Also:
        `setSortFoldersBeforeLeaves(java.lang.Boolean)`

        `getSortFoldersBeforeLeaves()`

    - #### setShowRoot

          public void setShowRoot(java.lang.Boolean showRoot)

      Controls whether the implicit root node is returned as part of the visible tree, specifically, whether it is returned in `Tree.getOpenList()`, which is the API view components typically use to get the list of visible nodes.

      Default is to have the root node be implicit and not included in the open list, which means that the visible tree begins with the children of root. This allows multiple nodes to appear at the top level of the tree.

      You can set `showRoot:true` to show the single, logical root node as the only top-level node. This property is only meaningful for Trees where you supplied a value for `root`, otherwise, you will see an automatically generated root node that is meaningless to the user.
      If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Setter for `showRoot`.

      Parameters:
        `showRoot` - new `showRoot` value. Default value is false

    - #### getShowRoot

          public java.lang.Boolean getShowRoot()

          public void setSortFoldersBeforeLeaves(java.lang.Boolean sortFoldersBeforeLeaves)

      If `separateFolders` is true, should folders be displayed above or below leaves? When set to `true` folders will appear above leaves when the `sortDirection` applied to the tree is `"ascending"`
      If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Setter for `sortFoldersBeforeLeaves`.
      Parameters:
        `sortFoldersBeforeLeaves` - new `sortFoldersBeforeLeaves` value. Default value is true

      Note that this method only applies to `fetchMode` "paged".

      Parameters:
        `node` - folder in question
      Returns:
        folder's children are a ResultSet with a full cache

      Returns:
        `HandlerRegistration` used to remove this handler

    - #### getChildrenResultSet

          public ResultSet getChildrenResultSet(TreeNode node)

      Returns a ResultSet that provides access to any partially-loaded children of a node. If the node is a leaf, this method returns null.
      Parameters:
        `node` - The node whose children you want to fetch.
      Returns:
        List of children for the node, including an empty ResultSet if the node has no children. For a leaf, returns null.
      See Also:

                bar

      Calling `tree.getLevel(bar)` will return `2`.

      Note `showRoot` defaults to false so that multiple nodes can be shown at top level. In this case, the top-level nodes still have root as a parent, so have level 1, even though they have no visible parents.

      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        number of parents the node has

    - #### getLoadState

        state of the node

    - #### getName

          public java.lang.String getName(TreeNode node)

      Get the 'name' of a node. This is node[`nameProperty`]. If that value has not been set on the node, a unique value (within this parent) will be auto-generated and returned.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        name of the node

    - #### getParentPath

          public java.lang.String getParentPath(TreeNode node)

      Given a node, return the path to its parent. This works just like `Tree.getPath()` except the node itself is not reported as part of the path.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        path to the node's parent
      See Also:

    - #### getPath

          public java.lang.String getPath(TreeNode node)

      Returns the path of a node - a path has the following format: `([name][pathDelim]?)*`
      For example, in this tree:

            root
              foo
                bar

      Assuming that `pathDelim` is the default `/`, the `bar` node would have the path `root/foo/bar` and the path for the `foo` node would be `root/foo`.
      Once you have a path to a node, you can call find(path) to retrieve a reference to the node later.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        path to the node
      See Also:
        `getParentPath(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode)`

    - #### getTitle

          public java.lang.String getTitle(TreeNode node)

      Return the title of a node -- the name as it should be presented to the user. This method works as follows:
      - If a `titleProperty` is set on the node, the value of that property is returned.
      - Otherwise, if the `nameProperty` is set on the node, that value is returned, minus any trailing `pathDelim`.
      - Finally, if none of the above yielded a title, the value of `defaultNodeTitle` is returned.
      You can override this method to return the title of your choice for a given node.
      To override the title for an auto-constructed tree (for example, in a databound TreeGrid), override `TreeGrid.getNodeTitle()` instead.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node for which the title is being requested
      Returns:
        title to display
      See Also:
        `TreeGrid.getNodeTitle(com.smartgwt.client.data.Record, int, com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGridField)`

      Returns true if this node has any children.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        true if the node has children

    - #### hasFolders

          public java.lang.Boolean hasFolders(TreeNode node)

      Return true if this this node has any children that are folders.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        true if the node has children that are folders

    - #### hasLeaves

          public java.lang.Boolean hasLeaves(TreeNode node)

      Return whether this node has any children that are leaves.
      Parameters:

      Parameters:
        `child` - child node
        `parent` - parent node
      Returns:
        true == parent is an ancestor of child

    - #### isFolder

          public java.lang.Boolean isFolder(TreeNode node)

      Determines whether a particular node is a folder. The logic works as follows:
      - If the `TreeNode` has a value for the `isFolderProperty` (`isFolder` by default) that value is returned.
      - Next, the existence of the `childrenProperty` (by default `children`) is checked on the `TreeNode`. If the node has the children property defined (regardless of whether it actually has any children), then isFolder() returns true for that node.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        true if the node is a folder

    - #### isLeaf

          public java.lang.Boolean isLeaf(TreeNode node)

      Returns true if the passed in node is a leaf.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        true if the node is a leaf

      Returns:
        folder is loaded or is currently loading

    - #### isOpen

          public java.lang.Boolean isOpen(TreeNode node)

      Whether a particular node is open or closed (works for leaves and folders).
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        true if the node is open

    - #### isRoot

        Parent Linking Example

    - #### openAll

          public void openAll(TreeNode node)

      Open all nodes under a particular node.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node from which to open folders (if not specified, the root node is used)

        Parent Linking Example

    - #### reloadChildren

          public void reloadChildren(TreeNode node)

      Reload the children of a folder.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      See Also:
        `removeChildren(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode)`

    - #### remove

          public java.lang.Boolean remove(TreeNode node)

      Removes a node, along with all its children. See `"Modifying ResultTrees"` when working with a `ResultTree` for limitations.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node to remove
      Returns:
        true if the tree was changed as a result of this call

    - #### removeChildren

          public void removeChildren(TreeNode node)

      Removes all children of the node and sets it to a loaded state. For non-`ResultTree`s, or non-`paged` `ResultTree`s, `Tree.add()` or `Tree.addList()` can then be used to provide new children. For `paged` `ResultTrees`, `DataSource.updateCaches()` must be used to insert nodes into the cache as local data, since such `ResultTree`s are considered read-only, and `Tree.add()` and `Tree.addList()` are not perrmitted.
      Parameters:
        `node` - folder in question
      See Also:
        `getLoadState(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode)`, `reloadChildren(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode)`

    - #### unloadChildren

          public void unloadChildren(TreeNode node)

      Deprecated. It's recommended that you instead use `Tree.reloadChildren()` to reload the children of a folder, or `Tree.removeChildren()` if you need to clear the cached children of a folder to add specific local data.
      Unload the children of a folder, returning the folder to the "unloaded" state.
      Parameters:
        `node` - folder in question

    - #### setData

          public void setData(TreeNode[] nodes)

      Optional initial data for the tree. How this data is interpreted depends on this tree's `modelType`.

      If `modelType` is `"parent"`, the list that you provide will be passed to `linkNodes(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tree.TreeNode[])`, integrating the nodes into the tree.

      In this case the root node must be supplied separately via `root`, or you may instead provide the `id` of the root node via `rootValue`. So for example, to create this tree:

           foo   bar zoo

      with modelType:"parent", you can do this:

           Tree.create({   root: {id:
           "root"},   data: [     {name: "foo", id: "foo", parentId: "root"},     {name: "bar", id: "bar", parentId:
           "foo"},
           {name: "zoo", id: "zoo", parentId: "root"} });

      Or this:

           Tree.create({   rootValue: "root",
           data: [     {name: "foo", id: "foo", parentId: "root"},     {name: "bar", id: "bar", parentId: "foo"},     {name:
           "zoo", id: "zoo", parentId: "root"} });

      Specifying the root node explicitly allows you to give it a name, changing the way path derivation works (see `root` for more on naming the root node).

      For `modelType:"children"` trees, the data passed in will be assumed to be an array of children the tree's root node.

      Parameters:
        `data` - data Default value is null
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

    - #### getData

          public ListGridRecord[] getData()

    - #### setRootValue

          public void setRootValue(java.lang.String rootValue)

      If you are using the "parent" modelType and did not specify a root node via `root` with an id (`idField`), then you can provide the root node's id via this property. See the example in `data` for more info.
      Parameters:
        `rootValue` - rootValue Default value is null
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

    - #### setRootValue

          public void setRootValue(int rootValue)

      If you are using the "parent" modelType and did not specify a root node via `root` with an id (`idField`), then you can provide the root node's id via this property. See the example in `data` for more info.
      Parameters:
        `rootValue` - rootValue Default value is null
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

    - #### getRootValue

          public java.lang.String getRootValue()

    - #### getParent

          public TreeNode getParent(TreeNode node)

      Returns the parent of this node.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        parent of this node

    - #### getFilteredTree

          public Tree getFilteredTree(Criteria criteria)

      Filters this tree by the provided criteria, returning a new Tree containing just the nodes that match the criteria.

      If `filterMode` is "keepParents", parents are retained if any of their children match the criteria even if those parents do not match the criteria.

      Parameters:
        `criteria` - criteria to filter by
      Returns:
        filtered tree

    - #### getFilteredTree

          public Tree getFilteredTree(Criteria criteria,
                             TreeFilterMode filterMode,
                             DataSource dataSource)

      Filters this tree by the provided criteria, returning a new Tree containing just the nodes that match the criteria.

      If `filterMode` is "keepParents", parents are retained if any of their children match the criteria even if those parents do not match the criteria.

      Parameters:
        `criteria` - criteria to filter by
        `filterMode` - mode to use for filtering, defaults to "strict"
        `dataSource` - dataSource to use for filtering, if this Tree does not already have one
      Returns:
        filtered tree

    - #### linkNodes

          public void linkNodes(TreeNode[] nodes)

      This method is provided as a mechanism to link new nodes into the tree of modelType "parent". This method takes a list of nodes that must contain at a minimum a unique ID (keyed by `idField`) and a parent ID (keyed by `parentIdField`). Based on this information, the list of nodes is integrated into the tree structure.
      Parameters:
        `nodes` - list of nodes to link into the tree.

    - #### getParents

          public TreeNode[] getParents(TreeNode node)

      Given a node, return an array of the node's parents with the immediate parent first. The node itself is not included in the result. For example, for the following tree:

           root   foo     bar

      Calling `tree.getParents(bar)` would return: `[foo, root]`. Note that the returned array will contain references to the nodes, not the names.
      Parameters:
        `node` - node in question
      Returns:
        array of node's parents

    - #### findById

          public TreeNode findById(java.lang.String id)

      Find the node with the specified ID. Specifically, it returns the node whose idField matches the id passed to this method. If the tree is using the "parent" modelType, this lookup will be constant-time. For all other modelTypes, the tree will be searched recursively.
      Parameters:
        `id` - ID of the node to return.
      Returns:
        node with appropriate ID, or null if not found.

    - #### find

          public TreeNode find(java.lang.String fieldNameOrPath)

      Find a node within this tree using a string path or by attribute value(s). This method can be called with 1 or 2 arguments. If a single String argument is supplied, the value of the argument is treated as the path to the node. if a single argument of type Object is provided, it is treated as a set of field name/value pairs to search for (see `com.smartgwt.client..List#find`).
      If 2 arguments are supplied, this method will treat the first argument as a fieldName, and return the first node encountered where `node[fieldName]`matches the second argument. So for example, given this tree:

           foo   zoo
             bar   moo     bar

      Assuming your `pathDelim` is the default `/` and `foo` is the name of the root node, then `tree.find("foo/moo/bar")` would return the `bar` node under the `moo` node.
      `tree.find("name", "bar")` would return the first `bar` node because it is the first one in the list whose `name` (default value of `nameProperty`) property matches the value `bar`. The two argument usage is generally more interesting when your tree nodes have some custom unique property that you wish to search on. For example if your tree nodes had a unique field called "UID", their serialized form would look something like this:

           { name: "foo", children: [...], UID:"someUniqueId"}

      You could then call `tree.find("UID", "someUniqueId")` to find that node. Note that the value doesn't have to be a string - it can be any valid JS value, but since this data generally comes from the server, the typical types are string, number, and boolean.
      The usage where you pass a single object is interesting when your tree nodes have a number of custom properties that you want to search for in combination. Say your tree nodes had properties for "color" and "shape"; `tree.find({color: "green", shape: "circle"})` would return the first node in the tree where both properties matched.
      When searching by path, trailing path delimiters are ignored. So for example `tree.find("foo/zoo/bar")` is equivalent to `tree.find("foo/zoo/bar/")`
      Parameters:
        `fieldNameOrPath` - Either the path to the node to be found, or the name of a field which should match the value passed as a second parameter
      Returns:
        the node matching the supplied criteria or null if not found

    - #### find

          public TreeNode find(java.lang.String fieldNameOrPath,
                      java.lang.Object value)

      Find a node within this tree using a string path or by attribute value(s).
      Overrides:

      Parameters:
        `fieldNameOrPath` - Either the path to the node to be found, or the name of a field which should match the value passed as a second parameter
        `value` - If specified, this is the desired value for the appropriate field
      Returns:
        the node matching the supplied criteria or null if not found
      See Also:
        `find(String)`

      Overrides:
        `find` in class `RecordList`

      Parameters:
        `node` - The node whose children you want to fetch.
      Returns:
        List of children for the node (empty List if node is a leaf or has no children)

    - #### nodeForRecord

          public static TreeNode nodeForRecord(ListGridRecord record)

      A TreeNode and ListGridRecord represent similar datastructures and it is possible that certain TreeGrid operations return a ListGridRecord since TreeGrid extends ListGrid. So in order to call several of the methods in this Tree class, you need to coerce a ListGridRecord to a TreeNode. This can be done by calling this method.
