I wanted to share with the group a program I wrote for visualizing the i3 tree
structure. Here's an example of what it produces:

I hope you find it useful. Pull requests with improvements are welcome.
Sweet. It doesn’t properly display scratchpad windows, though (while
it does list the __i3_scratch pseudo workspace).
Best regards,

I wanted to drop a small change I made,
as the "layout" field seems as necessary as the "orientation" one.
For example an horizontal container can have either a tabbed or default
layout.
Conversely, a default layout can be oriented vertically or horizontally.
Here is an example with my "usual" desktop,
using obvious modifications to your script.
Workspace __i3_scratch (default - none)
Workspace 1 (default - horizontal)
Split (tabbed - horizontal)
Split (stacked - vertical)
Window i3: i3-msg(1) - Mozilla Firefox
Split (stacked - vertical)
Window Inbox - layus.on@xxxxxxxxx - Mozilla Thunderbird
Window Write: Re: [i3] i3 tree visualization program -
Unicode (UTF-8)
Workspace 2 (default - vertical)
Window rxvt-256color
Window Terminal
I think that the orientation can even be omitted as it is superseded by
the layout in most cases,
except the one cited above, with the default layout.
Am I right if I say that the default layout is the only one to be
influenced by the orientation ?
Best regards,
Layus.
PS : Using a "complicated" layout as in workspace 1 often causes i3 to
crash when moving windows around.
I'm going to fill some bug report, or investigate this furthermore in
the following days.
