Returns the name of this branch of the tree.

Returns a string that can be used to describe the type of data stored in this tree. For example, a tree holding geometry information (generated either by a SOP node or a DOP node) will return "Geometry" from this method.

Returns the “natural” order of the child branches in the dictionary returned by branches(). This ordering is often not very important, but in situations where there are a large number of branches that do have some sort of natural order (such as the branches for each DOP object returned by a DOP node) this method can help organize the information.

This code iterates through all child branches of a node’s info tree in their natural order, assuming an RBD simulation created from a default sphere and torus object:

>>> nodeinfo = hou.node('/obj/AutoDopNetwork/output').infoTree()
>>> dopinfo = nodeinfo.branches()['DOP Info']
>>> objinfo = dopinfo.branches()['Objects']
>>> objbranches = objinfo.branches()
>>> for objname in objinfo.branchOrder():
...   obj = objbranches[objname]
...   print objname, ':', obj.branches()
...
torus_object1 : {'Geometry': <hou.NodeInfoTree>}
sphere_object1 : {'Geometry': <hou.NodeInfoTree>}

Return a dictionary of all child branches. Each branch has a name, and is a full tree, which may have it’s own branches, and so on.

Returns the titles of the columns for the data returned by the rows() method. Usually this will be simply ('Property', 'Value'), for rows that are simply key/value pairs. But in some cases the headings can help interpret the returned information.

Return a two dimensional grid of strings. The returned tuple represents the rows of the grid. The contained tuples each represent one row. All contained tuples will be the same length, which will be the length of the tuple returned by the headings() method.
