# explode.explode()

## Syntax

    explode(root, nodes, x, y, max=50)

## Description

Draws out the nodes list, branching from the central root positioned at (x,y). The maximum number of nodes drawn out is restricted to max. The nodes is a list in which each element is a list of leaves, for example: [["hamburger","cheeseburger"], ["pizza"]].

## Example

Uses WordNet to draw out all the examples of the word container.

    wordnet = ximport("wordnet")
    explode = ximport("explode")

    font("Dolly-Roman", 8)
    fill(0.2)
    strokewidth(0.5)

    root = "container"
    explode.explode(root, wordnet.hyponyms(root), 500, 500)
