hi there,
I’m fairly new to typst (I have been using Latex before), and in latex i could create trees using the forest package. Is there any way to create trees in typst? From what i could find none of the packages do exactly what i need.
In latex, by writing this in the preamble:
\usepackage[edges]{forest}
\forestset{
mydefault/.style={
for tree={
draw,
circle,
minimum size=1cm,
inner sep=2pt,
s sep=1cm,
l=1.5cm
}
}
}
and this in the code:
\begin{forest}
mydefault
[2 [1] [4 [3] [5]]]
\end{forest}
It would create this:

cetz has a tree example
#import "@preview/cetz:0.3.4": canvas, draw, tree
#set page(width: auto, height: auto, margin: .5cm)
#let data = (
[A], ([B], [C], [D]), ([E], [F])
)
#canvas({
import draw: *
set-style(content: (padding: .2),
fill: gray.lighten(70%),
stroke: gray.lighten(70%))
tree.tree(data, spread: 2.5, grow: 1.5, draw-node: (node, ..) => {
circle((), radius: .45, stroke: none)
content((), node.content)
}, draw-edge: (from, to, ..) => {
line((a: from, number: .6, b: to),
(a: to, number: .6, b: from), mark: (end: ">"))
}, name: "tree")
// Draw a "custom" connection between two nodes
let (a, b) = ("tree.0-0-1", "tree.0-1-0",)
line((a, .6, b), (b, .6, a), mark: (end: ">", start: ">"))
})
