As can be seen from the above diagram 7 is the parent of 3 and 3 is the parent of 1 etc.

API

str = print(tree, [opts])

Returns a string representation of the tree (represented as an array of flat tree indexes). Per default ansi colors are used to color the tree. Pass {color: false} to disable this.

Command line tool

There is also a command line tool available

npm install -g print-flat-tree
print-flat-tree 0 1 2 3 7 8 9 10 # print the above example
print-flat-tree {0..10} # print a tree with nodes 0->10

Yellow nodes are the leaf nodes and red nodes are nodes that can be fully rooted inside this tree
