The Free Java Tree Applet reads all the Node (item) data
from a plain text file - nodedata.txt file.
Each node is defined on a separate line and is made up of
the following elements,
The values for each of these elements should be separated
by a "|" character. If you do not require a value
for any element (eg. expanded Icon Image) then simply insert
a single space character for the value (leaving an element
empty will cause an error).
With the Free Tree a maximum of 100 nodes may be defined.
If you require more than this then please take a look at
the Advanced Tree
Explorer which can handle an unlimited number of nodes.
Rather than create your own data file from scratch, we
recommend that you take a copy of the "nodedata.txt"
file in the Examples directory and modify this to suite
your requirements.
Please note, Filenames are case sensitive so please
ensure that the data file name remains as "nodedata.txt"
and not "NodeData.txt" or "NODEDATA.TXT".
