Good morning,

here comes a rawish flapjack from my lab.
What I tried to achieve is replacing the circular nodes of the indented tree layout from the flare.demos package with a rectangular box containg a text label. In addition I wanted to draw collapsed nodes in a different color. The attached demo seems to do the job but I am not particular happy with it.
In this implementation it is necessary to update the shape position of a node when its color is changed which seems to indicate that there is something strange going on

Feedback highly appreciated

There is a hopefully improved version of this which you can find in the reply to this thread

Good morning,

it looks like I found a better implementation for this.

Rather using the Shapes.BLOCK shape to draw the rectangular box, this new solutions just adds an additional RectSprite to the NodeSprite and uses this to draw the box. You find this new version as attachment to this reply, feedback of course always appreciated

cheers
