How to display tree graphically

**Prog** · 04-29-2012, 08:51 PM

Hi,

Please, I have an assignment that requires implementation of five different types of trees and displaying them graphically.

Someone told me that there is a library or a function that helps in displaying any tree graphically, I searched for it a lot but I could not find it.

Can you please give me a hint about it ? or anything that helps me in doing this ?

Thanks in advance :)

Moved from Advanced Java.

Were you looking for javax.swing.JTree?

Depends upon the tree, which you would need to elaborate on for a more defined answer. For JTree, see How to Use Trees (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components) (the top hit in google - your first stop shop for researching questions like this)
A more comprehensive library for graph/tree display is JUNG
You could also draw them yourself using Java2D, which isn't too hard depending upon how complex you need to draw them.
