[ggo-discussion] Re: SGF tree display

Hello Peter,
Having a tree display is a great idea. It is very helpful when reading
commented games with variations.
I suppose that eventually we can have labels and comments associated with
the nodes. I think the labels (such as: good, bad, option, a, b, mistake,
etc.) should be displayed with the tree. Comments can appear elsewhere when
the node is clicked. It would also be nice to make the nodes and links
smaller in order to fit more in the window. I like the display of winMGT a
lot.

Overall, the prototype is very nice and a welcome addition.
Keep up the good work. You have a great client.

Subject: [ggo-discussion] SGF tree display

Cheers,

I would be interested in some opinions and feedback. I am currently 
working on a SGF tree display for gGo and glGo. To make development and 
life easier, I implemented it as a standalone protoype with a simple 
board. The board features playing moves and cursor key navigation. The 
current tree features move navigation and folding. All tree features can 
be accessed with a popup menu or by click/doubleclick actions, details are 
found on the webpage below.

I would basically like to get some feedback if the whole user interface 
makes sense, what additional things could be done, what's useless or bad 
with the current version etc. I would prefer to do the changes now with 
the prototype, not when it's already added to gGo and glGo (and I need to 
change both, so double work), so I am asking now. :)

The tree demo is available here:

The download is Windows only and a simple installer. Python standalone 
packaging for Linux does not work well. Python sources on Linux would work 
but require SDL, Pygame, wxGTK, wxPython installed (probably not available 
on a standard Linux).

Thanks in advance,

  Peter
