Prerequisites

• You need to have the python2.7 and the graphviz to make the script work.
  • To install the graphviz on Linux machine: sudo apt-get install graphviz
• You need to provide a valid format of JSON file such as this:

{
"keys":["P"],
"children":[
    {"keys":["C","G","M"],
     "children": [
        {"keys": ["A:[(1,1),(1,2)]","B:[(2,1),(2,2)]"]},
        {"keys": ["D:[(3,1),(3,2)]","E:[(4,1)]","F:[(5,1)]"]},
        {"keys": ["J:[(5,1),(5,2)]","K:[(6,1),(6,2)]","L:[(7,1)]"]},
        {"keys": ["N:[(8,1)]","O:[(9,1)]"]}
    ]},
    {"keys":["T","X"],
     "children": [
        {"keys": ["Q:[(10,1)]","R:[(11,1)]","S:[(12,1)]"]},
        {"keys": ["U:[(13,1)]","V:[(14,1)]"]},
        {"keys": ["Y:[(15,1)]","Z:[(16,1)]"]}
    ]}
]
}

Usage

Give a list of JSON file, it will generate the SVG format graph in the same path of the input file but with a ".svg" surfix.

./printBTree.sh tree.json 

It should output like this:

>  The graph of "tree.json" is output to "tree.json.svg"

The graph looks like

We suggest you use a browser to open that .svg file.
