Function

   Plots an unrooted tree diagram

Description

   Plots unrooted phylogenies, cladograms, circular trees and phenograms
   in a wide variety of user-controllable formats. The program is
   interactive and allows previewing of the tree on PC, Macintosh, or X
   Windows screens, or on Tektronix or Digital graphics terminals. Final
   output can be to a file formatted for one of the drawing programs, for
   a ray-tracing or VRML browser, or one at can be sent to a laser printer
   (such as Postscript or PCL-compatible printers), on graphics screens or
   terminals, on pen plotters or on dot matrix printers capable of
   graphics.

   Similar to DRAWGRAM but plots unrooted phylogenies.

Algorithm

   DRAWTREE interactively plots an unrooted tree diagram, with many
   options including orientation of tree and branches, label sizes and
   angles, margin sizes. Particularly if you can use your computer screen
   to preview the plot, you can very effectively adjust the details of the
   plotting to get just the kind of plot you want.

   To understand the working of DRAWGRAM and DRAWTREE, you should first
   read the Tree Drawing Programs web page in this documentation.

   As with DRAWGRAM, to run DRAWTREE you need a compiled copy of the
   program, a font file, and a tree file. The tree file has a default name
   of intree. The font file has a default name of "fontfile". If there is
   no file of that name, the program will ask you for the name of a font
   file (we provide ones that have the names font1 through font6). Once
   you decide on a favorite one of these, you could make a copy of it and
   call it fontfile, and it will then be used by default. Note that the
   program will get confused if the input tree file has the number of
   trees on the first line of the file, so that number may have to be
   removed.

Usage

   Here is a sample session with fdrawtree


% fdrawtree -previewer n
Plots an unrooted tree diagram
Phylip tree file: drawgram.tree
Phylip drawtree output file [drawgram.fdrawtree]:

DRAWTREE from PHYLIP version 3.69.650
Reading tree ...
Tree has been read.
Loading the font ...
Font loaded.

Writing plot file ...

Plot written to file "drawgram.fdrawtree"

Done.

Data files

   The font file has a default name of "fontfile". If there is no file of
   that name, the program will ask you for the name of a font file (we
   provide ones that have the names font1 through font6). Once you decide
   on a favorite one of these, you could make a copy of it and call it
   fontfile, and it will then be used by default.
