How to print binary tree diagram

Question

How can I print a binary tree in Java so that the output is like      4          2   5    My node   public class Node lt A extends Comparable gt        Node lt A gt  left  right      A data       public Node A data           this data   data

This is a very simple solution to print out a tree. It is not that pretty, but it is really simple:

enum { kWidth = 6 };
void PrintSpace(int n)
{
  for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    printf(" ");
}

void PrintTree(struct Node * root, int level)
{
  if (!root) return;
  PrintTree(root->right, level + 1);
  PrintSpace(level * kWidth);
  printf("%d", root->data);
  PrintTree(root->left, level + 1);
}

Sample output:

michal kreuzman nice one I will have to say  It was useful  However  the above works only for single digits  if you are going to use more than one digit  the structure is going to get misplaced since you are using spaces and not tabs  As for my later codes I needed more digits than only 2  so I made a program myself  It has some bugs now  again right now I am feeling lazy to correct them but it prints very beautifully and the nodes can take a larger number of digits  The tree is not going to be as the question mentions but it is 270 degrees rotated    public static void printBinaryTree TreeNode root  int level       if root  null           return      printBinaryTree root right  level 1       if level  0           for int i 0 i lt level-1 i                System out print  quot   t quot            System out println  quot  ------- quot  root val             else         System out println root val       printBinaryTree root left  level 1          Place this function with your own specified TreeNode and keep the level initially 0  and enjoy  Here are some of the sample outputs                   -------11          -------10                  -------9  -------8                  -------7          -------6                  -------5 4          -------3  -------2          -------1                            -------10                  -------9          -------8                  -------7  -------6          -------5 4          -------3  -------2          -------1  Only problem is with the extending branches  I will try to solve the problem as soon as possible but till then you can use it too

Your tree will need twice the distance for each layer          a                                                  b       c                               d   e   f   g                 h i j k l m n o  You can save your tree in an array of arrays  one array for every depth     a   b c   d e f g   h i j k l m n o    If your tree is not full  you need to include empty values in that array          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    Then you can iterate over the array to print your tree  printing spaces before the first element and between the elements depending on the depth and printing the lines depending on if the corresponding elements in the array for the next layer are filled or not  If your values can be more than one character long  you need to find the longest value while creating the array representation and multiply all widths and the number of lines accordingly

I wrote a binary tree printer in Java     Code is on GitHub here   It hasn t been optimized for run time efficiency  but since we re talking about printing in ASCII  I figured it s not going to be used on very large trees   It does have some nice features though    It makes efficient use of space in that a large subtree extends under a smaller one as much as possible  There s a parameter to set the minimum horizontal space between node labels  Node labels are strings of arbitrary length  In addition to a method for printing a single tree  there s a method for printing a list of trees horizontally across the page  with a parameter for page width   using as many rows as necessary  There s an option to print trees with diagonal branches  using slash and backslash characters  or with horizontal branches  using ascii box drawing characters   The latter is more compact and makes tree levels more visually clear  It works    Some demo test programs are included   An example of a

You can use an applet to visualize this very easily  You need to print the following items    Print the nodes as circles with some visible radius   Get the coordinates for each node   The x coordinate can be visualized as the number of nodes visited before the node is visited in its inorder traversal  The y coordinate can be visualized as the depth of the particular node        Print the lines between parent and children   This can be done by maintaining the x and y coordinates of the nodes and the parents of each node in separate lists  For each node except root join each node with its parent by taking the x and y coordinates of both the child and the parent

See also these answers   In particular it wasn t too difficult to use abego TreeLayout to produce results shown below with the default settings   If you try that tool  note this caveat  It prints children in the order they were added   For a BST where left vs right matters I found this library to be inappropriate without modification   Also  the method to add children simply takes a parent and child node as parameters    So to process a bunch of nodes  you must take the first one separately to create a root    I ended up using this solution above  modifying it to take in the type  lt Node gt  so as to have access to Node s left and right  children

Adapted from Vasya Novikov s answer to make it more binary  and use a StringBuilder for efficiency  concatenating String objects together in Java is generally inefficient    public StringBuilder toString StringBuilder prefix  boolean isTail  StringBuilder sb        if right  null            right toString new StringBuilder   append prefix  append isTail                      false  sb             sb append prefix  append isTail     --       --    append value toString    append   n        if left  null            left toString new StringBuilder   append prefix  append isTail                      true  sb             return sb      Override public String toString         return this toString new StringBuilder    true  new StringBuilder    toString        Output             -- 7       -- 6            -- 5  -- 4           -- 3      -- 2          -- 1              -- 0
