2011: The goal of this project is to create a browser-based, fully local syntax tree generator, for drawing trees as you might find in an introductory linguistics course. Here are a few main features:
- Designed to be easy to use.
- Draws as you type for real-time feedback.
- Basic support for movement arrows using markup.
- Supports Unicode insofar as the browser it is running on does.
- Adjustable appearance.
- Linkable, i.e. parses the query string.
For more details, see the wiki.
The app can be found at http://mshang.ca/syntree/. If you publish a paper with a tree drawn by this app, I would appreciate it if you sent me a link to your paper (mail@mshang.ca).
By the way, here are a few great alternatives:
2023: The end product is now an svg-file which can be downloaded by pressing a button. Downloading all files from github.com has also been made slightly easier.
