Treetool
Overview
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).
Setup
To use Treetool it is necessary to set your Treetool environment by
running a special command sequence once per login session. You may
optionally place these commands in your .cshrc (C Shell users) or
.profile (Bourne Shell users) to avoid having to manually run these
commands on login.
