Abstract
Method and apparatus are described for drawing tree structures on output displays and on printed output reports. The tree structures include complete illustration of nodes and branches connecting the same, and further provides display or printing of data associated with the various nodes. The central node of the tree may be arbitrarily selected by redrawing the structure to focus on the root node of the tree or on the arbitrarily selected central node. For economic use of display space, a skeletal display may be provided in which only the nodes descendent from the central node of interest are shown with the associated data, the remaining nodes being displayed in skeletal format only. The tree structure may be applied to a descision making algorithm, and may be used to provide a number of alternatives useful for attaining a desired goal, and for evaluating the various alternatives.
