Thanks much!
Data structures can be nice problem solvers in unexpected areas as well, not only in visualizing/graphically editing data. For example, they are used hidden away to implement a fast vanilla list sorting in the newest [list-sort], or in the [m_symbolarray] object of the rj library to mimick a [table] object that stores indexed symbols instead of floats. A users of these objects never sees the data structures inside, they don't even have a graphical representation but instead are just used as what their name says: as data structures.
