Treetool is an interactive tool for displaying, editing, and printing
|
||
|
|
phylogenetic trees. The tree is displayed visually on screen, in
|
||
|
|
various formats, and the user is able to modify the format, structure,
|
||
|
|
and characteristics of the tree. Trees may be viewed, compared,
|
||
|
|
formatted for printing, constructed from smaller trees, etc...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Treetool works with Newick format tree files (Paup and Phylip
|
||
|
|
compatible). It handles multifurcating trees, branch lengths
|
||
|
|
(evolutionary distances), rooted/unrooted trees, and multiple trees
|
||
|
|
per file. It can print to a PostScript printer, or output PICT
|
||
|
|
graphics for Macintosh drawing programs (MacDraw).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Treetool 2.0.1 is available in binary form for Sun Sparc machines (Sun
|
||
|
|
4's) and in source form. Treetool requires X-windows (from MIT), and
|
||
|
|
the Xview toolkit (from Sun Microsystems). Both are free
|
||
|
|
(copyrighted) software, available readily from a number of sources
|
||
|
|
(both are available by anonymous ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu).
