The relationships between packages form a directed acyclic graph, not a tree, so pkg_tree.sh will either show too little (without -r) or far, far too much (with -r). If you want to visualize the package graph, you can feed the output of 'pkg query "%n %dn"' into something like graphviz. For other tasks, you are better off learning how to use 'pkg query' and possibly creating your own aliases or scripts. It's not that difficult; feel free to ask for help. (Just for kicks, I tried running 'pkg_tree.sh -rn' on my desktop, which has 934 packages installed. It's been running for ten minutes and has printed over 90,000 lines, with no end in sight.)
