下面是可视化树的另一种方法:将节点保存为xml文件，然后让浏览器显示层次结构:

class treeNode{
    int key;
    treeNode left;
    treeNode right;

    public treeNode(int key){
        this.key = key;
        left = right = null;
    }

    public void printNode(StringBuilder output, String dir){
        output.append("<node key='" + key + "' dir='" + dir + "'>");
        if(left != null)
            left.printNode(output, "l");
        if(right != null)
            right.printNode(output, "r");
        output.append("</node>");
    }
}

class tree{
    private treeNode treeRoot;

    public tree(int key){
        treeRoot = new treeNode(key);
    }

    public void insert(int key){
        insert(treeRoot, key);
    }

    private treeNode insert(treeNode root, int key){
        if(root == null){
            treeNode child = new treeNode(key);
            return child;
        }

        if(key < root.key)
            root.left = insert(root.left, key);
        else if(key > root.key)
            root.right = insert(root.right, key);

        return root;
    }

    public void saveTreeAsXml(){
        StringBuilder strOutput = new StringBuilder();
        strOutput.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
        treeRoot.printNode(strOutput, "root");
        try {
            PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("C:/tree.xml", "UTF-8");
            writer.write(strOutput.toString());
            writer.close();
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException e){

        }
        catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e){

        }
    }
}

下面是测试它的代码:

    tree t = new tree(1);
    t.insert(10);
    t.insert(5);
    t.insert(4);
    t.insert(20);
    t.insert(40);
    t.insert(30);
    t.insert(80);
    t.insert(60);
    t.insert(50);

    t.saveTreeAsXml();

输出如下所示:

你的树每一层需要两倍的距离:

       a
      / \
     /   \
    /     \
   /       \
   b       c
  / \     / \
 /   \   /   \
 d   e   f   g
/ \ / \ / \ / \
h i j k l m n o

你可以将你的树保存在一个数组的数组中，每个数组对应一个深度:

[[a],[b,c],[d,e,f,g],[h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o]]

如果你的树没有满，你需要在数组中包含空值:

       a
      / \
     /   \
    /     \
   /       \
   b       c
  / \     / \
 /   \   /   \
 d   e   f   g
/ \   \ / \   \
h i   k l m   o
[[a],[b,c],[d,e,f,g],[h,i, ,k,l,m, ,o]]

然后你可以遍历数组来打印你的树，根据深度打印第一个元素之前和元素之间的空格，根据下一层数组中对应的元素是否被填充打印行。 如果您的值可以超过一个字符长，您需要在创建数组表示时找到最长的值，并相应地乘以所有宽度和行数。

在控制台打印:

                                                500
                       700                                             300   
    200                                   400

将打印:

这是@anurag回答的一个变体——看到额外的|让我很烦

按行打印[大]树。

输出的例子:

z
├── c
│   ├── a
│   └── b
├── d
├── e
│   └── asdf
└── f

代码:

public class TreeNode {

    final String name;
    final List<TreeNode> children;

    public TreeNode(String name, List<TreeNode> children) {
        this.name = name;
        this.children = children;
    }

    public String toString() {
        StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder(50);
        print(buffer, "", "");
        return buffer.toString();
    }

    private void print(StringBuilder buffer, String prefix, String childrenPrefix) {
        buffer.append(prefix);
        buffer.append(name);
        buffer.append('\n');
        for (Iterator<TreeNode> it = children.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
            TreeNode next = it.next();
            if (it.hasNext()) {
                next.print(buffer, childrenPrefix + "├── ", childrenPrefix + "│   ");
            } else {
                next.print(buffer, childrenPrefix + "└── ", childrenPrefix + "    ");
            }
        }
    }
}

附注:这个答案并不完全关注“二叉”树——相反，它打印了各种类型的树。解决方案的灵感来自linux中的“树”命令。

这是一个非常多功能的树打印机。不是最好看的，但能处理很多案子。如果你能弄清楚，可以随意添加斜杠。
