Add branch to a existing tree (number of branches may vary)

[Joerg_M-E (Joerg Meyer-Ebeling)]

Hi everybody,

it seemed easy but I don´t get it right.

I have a data tree with n branches. n is not fixed and may vary.

How can I easily add a list of data as a additional branch on the same level in the existing tree?

Thanks in advance … Jörg

what about adding Graft to the second list.

[Joerg_M-E (Joerg Meyer-Ebeling)]

Because graft does it for all items end not only for the desired branch.

I also tried shift path, but I get

then we use data mapper

It requires dismantling the tree, then the path, adding one, then reassembling the path and assigning it to the data.

Not especially intuitive, especially the use of the Flatten component to assign the path! I’ve put a panel on each step so you can follow it through.

Won’t work because the source tree can vary in length (and so might the path length for all we know!)

It can also be like this

i like toms solution. robust.
in cases when only a list is added and the tree needs adresses with one integer only i´d be lazy and go for something like that:

[Eef_Weenink]

what about

Pushes all branches one up, and insert new as {0;0}

[Ali_Najmaei]

But we are expecting to make it the last branch I assume .

[Tom_Newsom]

Also this breaks if the source tree has depth other than 2 (which it might - we’re dealing with synthetic data here)

[Eef_Weenink]

Nice discussion. Meanwhile I worked on this:

It adds a branch to the end.
Reading your comment, I guess it is not hard to change this (list item -1) to add one to any list of branches (correct?)

PS: I am trying to find a solution without breaking the existing structure.
As @Ali_Najmaei just did !

And one that adds to any list of branches

Please correct when wrong

Hi Tom,

thank you, that is a sophisticated solution. At first I thought, I just overlook an GH component . As mentioned below by Jakob it seems to be robust. I try it that way.

Best, Jörg

Hi Eef,

similar concept as Tom, but with “replace path” which I never used before. Nice.

Best, Jörg

… and, no, I didn’t know that I can use “flatten tree” with Path. Learning a lot …
