SynView - a free syntaxtree viewer (HD)

SynView is a syntax tree visualization tool.

You can load already pre-computed sentence derivations from a text file with LaTeX compatible tree structures and SynView will then render those bunches of syntax trees in a nice-to-look-at and smooth-to-navigate fashion. Developed for educational purposes in linguistic courses at university.

It was originally the visualization part of a students project which assignment was to write a PERL based sentence parser. The challenging part was to generate during runtime a nice rendering reflecting the provided tree structure. I used a 3D engine to create an interactive and immersive environment that is appealing to young people.

Freely available at christian-behrenberg.com!!! Or visit the developer's blog entCreate.com for updates and news.

If you like the tool, donations are welcome to extend the app in the future!

does it make the trees automatically? I mean - I insert the text file into the programme and the programme gives me a syntax tree as a result - does it?

@inyazserg No it is just a visualization application. In the original project, in which SynView was only a part, we implemented an algotithm for deriving all possible trees for a given context free grammar; so you have to provide the trees by yourself.

@heelx "all possible trees for a given context free grammar" - do you mean by that that the machine made up all possible variants of grammar structure and you just had to choose between them manually? Do you have a video on that?

PS thanks for your answer!

this is a generative old tree. I wish you make it minimalist tree so that it is up to date.

Nice job with this-I also like the music : )
