The ICETree node is the root of an ICE graph.
In an explorer, it shows the position of an ICE operator graph in the construction stack.
In the ICE tree view, it provides Execute ports for connecting nodes to the graph. Nodes that do not ultimately connect to the ICETree node are never evaluated. Right-click over a port to insert, remove, and manage ports, or right-click over any other area of the node for other options. Click on an ICETree node in the embedded explorer at right to select a specific ICE tree to display in the view.
