NAME

       Tree::Simple::Visitor::BreadthFirstTraversal - A Visitor for breadth-first traversal a
       Tree::Simple hierarchy

SYNOPSIS

         use Tree::Simple::Visitor::BreadthFirstTraversal;

         # create an visitor
         my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::BreadthFirstTraversal->new();

         # pass our visitor to the tree
         $tree->accept($visitor);

         # print our results
         print join ", " => $visitor->getResults();

         # this will print this:
         #   1, 2, 3, 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 3.1, 1.1.1
         # assuming your tree is like this:
         #   1
         #     1.1
         #       1.1.1
         #     1.2
         #   2
         #     2.1
         #   3
         #     3.1

DESCRIPTION

       This implements a breadth-first traversal of a Tree::Simple hierarchy. This can be an
       alternative to the built in depth-first traversal of the Tree::Simple "traverse" method.

METHODS

       new There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You
           can use the  "setNodeFilter" method to customize its behavior.

       includeTrunk ($boolean)
           Based upon the value of $boolean, this will tell the visitor to include the trunk of
           the tree in the traversal as well.

       setNodeFilter ($filter_function)
           This method accepts a CODE reference as its $filter_function argument and throws an
           exception if it is not a code reference. This code reference is used to filter the
           tree nodes as they are collected. This can be used to customize output, or to gather
           specific information from a more complex tree node. The filter function should accept
           a single argument, which is the current Tree::Simple object.

       visit ($tree)
           This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's "accept" method. It can also be used
           on its own, it requires the $tree argument to be a Tree::Simple object (or derived
           from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.

       getResults
           This method returns the accumulated results of the application of the node filter to
           the tree.

BUGS

       None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to
       fix it.

CODE COVERAGE

       See the CODE COVERAGE section in Tree::Simple::VisitorFactory for more information.

SEE ALSO

       These Visitor classes are all subclasses of Tree::Simple::Visitor, which can be found in
       the Tree::Simple module, you should refer to that module for more information.
