# CTree view

The CTree view is a subview that renders the decompiler's C-level AST (the **ctree**) for the current function.

{% hint style="info" %}
The CTree view is new and still settling. Its layout, the shown information, and the available actions may change in future versions.
{% endhint %}

## Opening the CTree view

You can open the CTree view in two ways:

* Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>F6</kbd> while viewing a function
* Navigate to **View → Open subviews → Generate ctree**

## What it shows

Each line in the view represents one ctree node, indented to reflect its depth in the tree. Statement and expression node types are printed along with the most important attributes for that kind of node (operand types, referenced variables, immediate values, and so on).
