Visualizing n-ary trees

[TheNeeloy]

Hi there!

Thanks for releasing such an awesome tool! I'm looking for a tool to visualize n-ary trees generated by a monte-carlo tree search algorithm.
Is it possible to visualize n-ary trees with supertree? Or could you point me to which part of the code I could modify to extend the work to n-ary trees?
Thanks for your time.

Hi @TheNeeloy,

Thank you for your interest in the supertree package. The package doesn't support n-ary trees. What is your use case?

To have support for n-ary tree you would need to do changes in the JavaScript code, which is in a private repository and is not shared publicly. We chose to do it this way because we have had situations where companies were using our software with an AGPL license, making code changes and not publishing them publicly. We share JavaScript code on private license. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thanks for your response. I am using the reinforcement learning algorithm Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to search for trajectories in an environment that lead my agent to receive high rewards. MCTS generates a tree where nodes are states in the environment, and edges are actions taken by the agent. The number of possible actions the agent can take at any state is greater than 2, so MCTS ends up generating an n-ary tree. Additionally, the trees generated for my environment are absolutely massive because of the high branch factor from the action space (see an example tree svg attached below). As such, I'd like to be able to collapse and expand nodes interactively, and set options to be able to see additional information about the state at any node to reduce clutter.

I see issue #33 is tackling a similar problem of extending your work to n-ary trees, and would love to see that made public. I am a PhD graduate student researcher at a university, and I would follow the required rules set in the AGPL license to release any modified code publicly.
