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。

我知道我迟到了。但是我做了这个解决方案，不仅适用于简单的树，也适用于更复杂的树(如多行字符串)

示例输出:

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:

public void printPreety() {
    List<TreeNode> list = new ArrayList<TreeNode>();
    list.add(head);
    printTree(list, getHeight(head));
}

public int getHeight(TreeNode head) {

    if (head == null) {
        return 0;
    } else {
        return 1 + Math.max(getHeight(head.left), getHeight(head.right));
    }
}

/**
 * pass head node in list and height of the tree 
 * 
 * @param levelNodes
 * @param level
 */
private void printTree(List<TreeNode> levelNodes, int level) {

    List<TreeNode> nodes = new ArrayList<TreeNode>();

    //indentation for first node in given level
    printIndentForLevel(level);

    for (TreeNode treeNode : levelNodes) {

        //print node data
        System.out.print(treeNode == null?" ":treeNode.data);

        //spacing between nodes
        printSpacingBetweenNodes(level);

        //if its not a leaf node
        if(level>1){
            nodes.add(treeNode == null? null:treeNode.left);
            nodes.add(treeNode == null? null:treeNode.right);
        }
    }
    System.out.println();

    if(level>1){        
        printTree(nodes, level-1);
    }
}

private void printIndentForLevel(int level){
    for (int i = (int) (Math.pow(2,level-1)); i >0; i--) {
        System.out.print(" ");
    }
}

private void printSpacingBetweenNodes(int level){
    //spacing between nodes
    for (int i = (int) ((Math.pow(2,level-1))*2)-1; i >0; i--) {
        System.out.print(" ");
    }
}


Prints Tree in following format:
                4                               
        3               7               
    1               5       8       
      2                       10   
                             9   

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:

    |-- 3
    |   |-- 1
