## Detailed Description

### template<typename T>
class Glib::NodeTree< T >

N-ary Trees - trees of data with any number of branches The NodeTree class and its associated functions provide an N-ary tree data structure, in which nodes in the tree can contain arbitrary data.

To insert a node into a tree use insert(), insert_before(), append() or prepend().

To create a new node and insert it into a tree use insert_data(), insert_data_before(), append_data() and prepend_data().

To reverse the children of a node use reverse_children().

To find a node use root(), find(), find_child(), index_of(), child_index(), first_child(), last_child(), nth_child(), first_sibling(), prev_sibling(), next_sibling() or last_sibling().

To get information about a node or tree use is_leaf(), is_root(), depth(), node_count(), child_count(), is_ancestor() or max_height().

To traverse a tree, calling a function for each node visited in the traversal, use traverse() or foreach().

To remove a node or subtree from a tree use unlink().
