$\begingroup$ Thanks! Trees are definitely an appealing for this task. It turns out, however, that for the Graphics objects I need most help with (namely, those generated by plotting commands like Plot), the standard TreeForm layout doesn't work: these trees have too many nodes at the same level, hence many node labels get obscured by the other ones. A conceptually simple fix would be to rotate the layout of the nodes (while keeping labels horizontal), but this is surprisingly difficult to do (at least for me). I posted a question about it,... $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ ...and got several replies, but it was the same problem all over again: these solutions work fine with simple examples but fail with the trees I want to visualize. What's worse, they all fail in utterly baffling ways, and this bizarreness of behavior greatly cooled my enthusiasm for this line of attack. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Mr.Wizard: "A streamlined version of Hector's …" what do you have against quick and dirty? You've been "streamlining" my answers for some time now! … Thank you. Your post taught me about the ? for patterns. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Hector I sort of obsessively optimize syntax; I can't help myself. I figure I might as well share the results. I take it from "Thank you" that you don't mind; I hope this is the case. If you are learning about ? (PatternTest) be sure to read these: (1835), (1699), (30425) $\endgroup$
