Greetings,
I am looking for a LaTeX macro package for drawing trees. Those
trees are to represent extensive form games and I need the following
capabilities:
1. Each node may have *any* number of child nodes (2,3,4...).
2. I would like to put an arbitrary label on a node.
3. Ditto for any edge connecting two nodes.
3. Preferably, I would also like to join some of the nodes "at the
same level", i.e., having the same parent, with a line, broken or
otherwise (this is a representation of "information sets" in
Game Theory lingo).
4. I really don't care if the tree expands from left to right, or
top-down, or bottom-up. Anything will do.
I went through the excellent tex-index (by David Jones) and found a
few packages which meet some, but not all, of the above requirements.
Does any body know of a package that can do the things I want to?
On a similar note: all the packages that I saw use some "higher level"
constructs like, e.g., \branch, \node, etc., which are expanded by
the macro package. Is there a "macro expansion" package that that
can expand all these commands to LaTeX picture drawing primitives
and save to a file? That way, I could use TeXcad to touch up the
pictures visually for any small changes that are not possible from
within the macro package itself. I thought it would be a neat idea
anyway ...
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Sunando Sen
