ability to open a tree focused on a specific subsection #825

Closed balmas closed 3 years ago

balmas commented 4 years ago

related to #824 , requested by @rgorman

"(#824) would be a great feature especially if we could “pre-set” which parts of a tree would be expanded or collapsed. These days I am teaching my students how to work their way through a complex sentence one clause at a time (or at least one sub-tree at a time). To do this I have to pull sub-trees from trees by hand, which is slow and tedious work.

In order for the commentary that I provide to make sense (very necessary in this day of covid and distance learning), the trees must open in the shape I want them to. That is, the proper sub-tree must be isolated.

As I start to think about it, I imagine this might be trickier than just having expand and contract buttons on nodes. My approach would probably mean that sometimes selected downstream nodes would remain expanded while upstream nodes would be collapsed. A hard problem maybe?"

@zfletch are you going to implement this in the react viewer? If so, I think I would not do it here.

I am planning on implementing it in the React viewer. I don't have a timeline but I don't think it will be too difficult.

I've created an issue here: https://github.com/perseids-tools/treebank-react/issues/21

closing this. It won't be fixed in Arethusa but in the new viewer app.
