Hi,

Loosing my mind over this. It looked like a simple task but I spent a day on it and still not getting my result. What I want to do is to visualize a graph in a terminal. I have the following sequence of events: 

1 > 2 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 9 > 11
1 > 2 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 10 > 11
1 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 9 > 11
1 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 10 > 11
1 > 3 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 9 > 11
1 > 3 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 10 > 11
1 > 7 > 8 > 10 > 11

Ideally what i am looking for would be something like this: 
       1
       |
   +---+---+---+
   |   |   |   |
   2   4   3   |
   |   |   |   |
   +---+---+   |
       |       |
       5       |
       |       |
       6       |
       |       |
       +---+---+
           |
           7
           |
           8
           |
       +---+---+
       |       |
       9       10
       +---+---+
           |
           11

Any clue ?? any help? I know you are going to ask me what I did so-far. The truth is, nothing, nothing works. I tried to create a tree out of it and recurse, than make a matrix 11x11 and then ad numbers in that spot but then got confused what goes where when to add/remove a row.. All in all I am going insane over this problem .... any idea on how to solve it ? (written explanation is more than welcomed i just need the logic (the MOST IMPORTANT THING) on how to do it )
