Drawing tree-like symbols
Here is a flexible approach to draw such trees. To change the size of the tree, change the length \RSu
; the initial value is \setlength\RSu{1ex}
.
You can easily define more operators by looking at the current definitions:
\RSdef{i}{\draw (\X) -- +(90:\RSu) node{};}
\RSdef{l}{\draw (\X) -- +(135:\RSu) node{};}
\RSdef{r}{\draw (\X) -- +(45:\RSu) node{};}
\RSdef{I}{\draw (\X) -- +(90:\RSu) coordinate(\X I);\edef\X{\X I}}
\RSdef{L}{\draw (\X) -- +(135:\RSu) coordinate(\X L);\edef\X{\X L}}
\RSdef{R}{\draw (\X) -- +(45:\RSu) coordinate(\X R);\edef\X{\X R}}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\RSloop{\@ifnextchar\bgroup\RSloopa\RSloopb}
\makeatother
\newcommand\RSloopa[1]{\bgroup\RSloop#1\relax\egroup\RSloop}
\newcommand\RSloopb[1]%
{\ifx\relax#1%
\else
\ifcsname RS:#1\endcsname
\csname RS:#1\endcsname
\else
\GenericError{(RS)}{RS Error: operator #1 undefined}{}{}%
\fi
\expandafter\RSloop
\fi
}
\newcommand\X{0}
\newcommand\RS[1]%
{\begin{tikzpicture}
[every node/.style=
{circle,draw,fill,minimum size=1.5pt,inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt},
line cap=round
]
\coordinate(\X) at (0,0);
\RSloop{#1}\relax
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\newcommand\RSdef[1]{\expandafter\def\csname RS:#1\endcsname}
\newlength\RSu
\RSu=1ex
\RSdef{i}{\draw (\X) -- +(90:\RSu) node{};}

\RSdef{L}{\draw (\X) -- +(135:\RSu) coordinate(\X L);\edef\X{\X L}}
\RSdef{R}{\draw (\X) -- +(45:\RSu) coordinate(\X R);\edef\X{\X R}}

I don't think there are packages for this symbol out there.
If I'm going to draw these graphical notations, I might give tikz
a try.
