summary
Reftree is a Scala library that renders case classes and collections as SVG/PNG diagrams and can produce frame-by-frame animations by converting SVG paths into sampled polylines and interpolating attributes. It composes Reftree with Graphviz/dot, Monocle optics and a zipper-based XML editor, exposes an interpolation typeclass (numbers → points → polylines → SVG) and demonstrates smooth transitions using configurable sampling (examples: 5 samples; 100 points and 100 frames). Rendering scales: ~1,000 items is OK, very large scenes or many frames can take minutes and gigabytes of RAM, but the demos work.
