How to draw the recursive H-Layout tree using Tikz?
Code A (preferred)
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\tikzset{if/.code n args={3}{\pgfmathparse{#1}%
\ifnum\pgfmathresult=1\pgfkeysalso{#2}\else\pgfkeysalso{#3}\fi}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[nodes=draw, thick,
H/.style n args={3}{% #1 = direction, #2=initial length, #3=levels
if={0<=#3}{
append after command={\pgfextra{\let\tikzLastnode\tikzlastnode}
node[HH={#1}{#2}{#3}, shift=(#1+180:#2)] at (\tikzLastnode) {} edge (\tikzLastnode)
node[HH={#1}{#2}{#3}, shift=(#1:#2)] at (\tikzLastnode) {} edge (\tikzLastnode)}
}{}},
HH/.style n args={3}{
append after command={\pgfextra{\let\tikzLastnode\tikzlastnode}
node[H={#1}{#2/2}{#3-1}, shift=(#1+90:#2)] at (\tikzLastnode) {} edge (\tikzLastnode)
node[H={#1}{#2/2}{#3-1}, shift=(#1-90:#2)] at (\tikzLastnode) {} edge (\tikzLastnode)
}}]
\node[H={0}{3cm}{3}] {};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Code B
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\tikzset{if/.code n args={3}{\pgfmathparse{#1}%
\ifnum\pgfmathresult=1\pgfkeysalso{#2}\else\pgfkeysalso{#3}\fi}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[nodes=draw, thick, every pin edge/.style={}, every pin/.style={draw},
H/.style n args={3}{% #1 = direction, #2=initial length, #3=levels
if={0<=#3}{% .6666em are 2*inner sep, \pgflinewidths are outer seps. Hard-coded values!
pin={[pin distance=#2,
pin={[pin distance=#2, H={#1}{(#2-.6666em-\pgflinewidth)/2}{#3-1}]#1+90:},
pin={[pin distance=#2, H={#1}{(#2-.6666em-\pgflinewidth)/2}{#3-1}]#1-90:}]#1:},
pin={[pin distance=#2,
pin={[pin distance=#2, H={#1}{(#2-.6666em-\pgflinewidth)/2}{#3-1}]#1+90:},
pin={[pin distance=#2, H={#1}{(#2-.6666em-\pgflinewidth)/2}{#3-1}]#1-90:}]#1+180:},
}{}}]
\node[H={0}{3cm-.6666em-\pgflinewidth}{3}] {};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
