tree-maker

A tool to make a screenshot of a tree of nodes defined in Python code.

Install via pip/uv

term-tree-maker is published on PyPI. Install it with whichever tool you prefer:

# using uv
uv pip install term-tree-maker

# or plain pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install term-tree-maker

CLI overview

After installing, three console commands are available everywhere on your PATH:

Command Description
tree Runs the packaged tree.py script that generates the text-based tree visualization. All original CLI flags still work.
make-tree-screenshot Launches the Konsole/gnome-screenshot workflow to capture the tree output into PNGs (wraps make-tree-screenshot.sh).
make-png-from-ssh Convenience wrapper for invoking the screenshot workflow from an SSH session (wraps make-png-from-ssh.sh).

Each command accepts the same arguments as its original script. Example:

tree --chunk-lines-amount 70 --chunk-count
make-tree-screenshot output/my-tree
make-png-from-ssh

Note: The first-time desktop environment preparation (install.sh) is still required on the target GNOME machine. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full setup checklist.

Installation

  • From the Gnome console (physically at the machine or over RDP):
cd <this directory>
[ -f $PWD/make-tree-screenshot.sh ] && echo "✅ good you're in the right dir: $PWD" || echo "ERROR: you're in the wrong dir"

The above just verifies that we are in the right directory because install.sh won't work otherwise. It writes config files the current value of $PWD.

./install.sh && echo "✅ Installed tree-maker" >&1 || ( echo "❌ Failed to install tree-maker" >&2 && exit 1 )
  • Append this to your ~/.bashrc to make it easier to run:
#
# allow gnome wayland desktop apps to be started from ssh sessiosn
#
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland

source ~/.bashrc

Usage

  • From an SSH session into the server where the tree-maker is installed:
[user@server] cd <this directory>
[user@server] ./make-png-from-ssh.sh
[user@server] it2dl tree.png   # download the tree image to your local machine
[user@server] imgcat tree.png  # display the tree image in your local terminal
  • Or, even easier, just run this from an ssh session:
[user@server] ./make-png-from-ssh.sh
