slicetree, tile type

The slicetree tile provides a hierarchical slice selector.

Example

table P = with
  [| as Family, as Subfamily, as Product, as Price |]
  [| "Garment", "Clothing", "Pant", 25 |]
  [| "Garment", "Clothing", "Shirt", 15 |]
  [| "Garment", "Accessory", "Hat", 12 |]
  [| "Home", "Furniture", "Table", 75 |]

table Slices[slice] = slice by P.Product title: P.Product

Slices.Family = same(P.Family)
Slices.Subfamily = same(P.Subfamily)
Slices.Product = same(P.Product)

show slicetree "Product tree" with
  Slices.Family
  Slices.Subfamily
  Slices.Product

show table "Selected product" slices: slice with
  P.Product
  P.Price

When the tree selection is “Garment > Clothing > Pant”, the table shows:

Remarks

Each extra vector adds one level to the hierarchy. The order by tile option can be used to control the ordering of the tree levels.
