-				Adds a button with [Texture2D] [param button] to the end of the cell at column [param column]. The [param id] is used to identify the button in the according [signal Tree.button_clicked] signal and can be different from the buttons index. If not specified, the next available index is used, which may be retrieved by calling [method get_button_count] immediately before this method. Optionally, the button can be [param disabled] and have a [param tooltip_text]. [param alt_text] is used as the button description for assistive apps.
