>>> class MyBaseClass(object):  # Just an example of a base class
...     foo = 4
>>> class MyClass(MyBaseClass, NodeMixin):  # Add Node feature
...     def __init__(self, name, length, width, parent=None, children=None):
...         super(MyClass, self).__init__()
...         self.name = name
...         self.length = length
...         self.width = width
...         self.parent = parent
...         if children:
...             self.children = childrenJust set theparentattribute to reflect the tree relation:>>> my0 = MyClass('my0', 0, 0)
>>> my1 = MyClass('my1', 1, 0, parent=my0)
>>> my2 = MyClass('my2', 0, 2, parent=my0)>>> for pre, fill, node in RenderTree(my0):
...     treestr = u"%s%s" % (pre, node.name)
...     print(treestr.ljust(8), node.length, node.width)

...     MyClass('my2', 0, 2),
