我为此做了一个改进的算法，可以很好地处理不同大小的节点。它使用行自上而下地打印。

要在树中使用它，让Node类实现PrintableNode。

示例输出:

                                         2952:0

  ┌─────┘                                               └─────┐           ┌─────┴─────┐     
339:0                                                      5717:0      6061:0      6271:0   

试试这个:

public static void print(int[] minHeap, int minWidth) {

    int size = minHeap.length;

    int level = log2(size);
    int maxLength = (int) Math.pow(2, level) * minWidth;
    int currentLevel = -1 ;
    int width = maxLength;

    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        if (log2(i + 1) > currentLevel) {
            currentLevel++;
            System.out.println();
            width = maxLength / (int) Math.pow(2, currentLevel);
        }
        System.out.print(StringUtils.center(String.valueOf(minHeap[i]), width));
    }
    System.out.println();
}

private static int log2(int n) {
    return (int) (Math.log(n) / Math.log(2));
}

这段代码片段的思想是用maxLength(即底线的长度)除以每一行的元素数量来得到块宽度。然后把元素放在每个块的中间。

参数minWidth表示底部行中块的长度。

用一张图片来说明想法并展示结果。

我发现VasyaNovikov的答案对于打印大型通用树非常有用，并将其修改为二叉树

代码:

class TreeNode {
    Integer data = null;
    TreeNode left = null;
    TreeNode right = null;

    TreeNode(Integer data) {this.data = data;}

    public void print() {
        print("", this, false);
    }

    public void print(String prefix, TreeNode n, boolean isLeft) {
        if (n != null) {
            System.out.println (prefix + (isLeft ? "|-- " : "\\-- ") + n.data);
            print(prefix + (isLeft ? "|   " : "    "), n.left, true);
            print(prefix + (isLeft ? "|   " : "    "), n.right, false);
        }
    }
}

样例输出:

\-- 7
    |-- 3
    |   |-- 1
    |   |   \-- 2
    |   \-- 5
    |       |-- 4
    |       \-- 6
    \-- 11
        |-- 9
        |   |-- 8
        |   \-- 10
        \-- 13
            |-- 12
            \-- 14

一个Scala解决方案，改编自Vasya Novikov的答案，专门用于二叉树:

/** An immutable Binary Tree. */
case class BTree[T](value: T, left: Option[BTree[T]], right: Option[BTree[T]]) {

  /* Adapted from: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8948691/643684 */
  def pretty: String = {
    def work(tree: BTree[T], prefix: String, isTail: Boolean): String = {
      val (line, bar) = if (isTail) ("└── ", " ") else ("├── ", "│")

      val curr = s"${prefix}${line}${tree.value}"

      val rights = tree.right match {
        case None    => s"${prefix}${bar}   ├── ∅"
        case Some(r) => work(r, s"${prefix}${bar}   ", false)
      }

      val lefts = tree.left match {
        case None    => s"${prefix}${bar}   └── ∅"
        case Some(l) => work(l, s"${prefix}${bar}   ", true)
      }

      s"${curr}\n${rights}\n${lefts}"

    }

    work(this, "", true)
  }
}

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。

我已经创建了简单的二叉树打印机。您可以随心所欲地使用和修改它，但无论如何它都没有优化。我认为这里有很多东西可以改进;)
