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)
  }
}

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:

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。

private StringBuilder prettyPrint(Node root, int currentHeight, int totalHeight) {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        int spaces = getSpaceCount(totalHeight-currentHeight + 1);
        if(root == null) {
            //create a 'spatial' block and return it
            String row = String.format("%"+(2*spaces+1)+"s%n", "");
            //now repeat this row space+1 times
            String block = new String(new char[spaces+1]).replace("\0", row);
            return new StringBuilder(block);
        }
        if(currentHeight==totalHeight) return new StringBuilder(root.data+"");
        int slashes = getSlashCount(totalHeight-currentHeight +1);
        sb.append(String.format("%"+(spaces+1)+"s%"+spaces+"s", root.data+"", ""));
        sb.append("\n");
        //now print / and \
        // but make sure that left and right exists
        char leftSlash = root.left == null? ' ':'/';
        char rightSlash = root.right==null? ' ':'\\';
        int spaceInBetween = 1;
        for(int i=0, space = spaces-1; i<slashes; i++, space --, spaceInBetween+=2) {

            sb.append(rightSlash+"");
            for(int j=0; j<space; j++) sb.append(" ");
            sb.append("\n");
        }
        //sb.append("\n");

        //now get string representations of left and right subtrees
        StringBuilder leftTree = prettyPrint(root.left, currentHeight+1, totalHeight);

        // now line by line print the trees side by side
        Scanner leftScanner = new Scanner(leftTree.toString());
        Scanner rightScanner = new Scanner(rightTree.toString());

                sb.append(rightScanner.nextLine()+"\n");
            }
        }

        return sb;

    }
private int getSpaceCount(int height) {
        return (int) (3*Math.pow(2, height-2)-1);
    }
private int getSlashCount(int height) {
        if(height <= 3) return height -1;
        return (int) (3*Math.pow(2, height-3)-1);
