racket-tree-visualizer

A tree-visualizer for Racket programming language

Installation

1. Copy the file tree-visualizer.rkt into the directory that contains your Racket files
2. Paste the following line at the top of your code:

(require "tree-visualizer.rkt")

Usage

(visualize tree-type tree)

Prints a tree nicely in the interactive window.

• tree-type Sym - one of the following:
  • 'binary-tree - binary trees in the form of (make-node key left right)
  • 'cons-tree - trees in the form of (cons key (listof children))
  • 'list-tree - trees in the form of (list key (listof children))
  • 'struct-tree - trees in the form of (make-node key (listof children))
• tree (anyof binary-tree cons-tree list-tree struct-tree) - a tree in one of the aforementioned forms

Example

(define example-bt
  (make-node 5
             (make-node 3
                        (make-node 1 empty empty)
                        (make-node 4 empty empty))
             (make-node 8
                        (make-node 7 empty empty)
                        (make-node 9 empty empty))))

(visualize 'binary-tree example-bt)
