NAME

       njplot  - A phylogenetic tree drawing program for biologists newicktops
       - draw phylogenetic trees into PostScript file

SYNOPSIS

       njplot [options] tree_file

       newicktops [options] tree_file

       newicktotxt [options] tree_file

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the njplot command.

       The newicktops command does exactly the same but has no graphical  user
       interface.  The output is rendered into a PostScript file.

       The  newicktotxt  command  does  exactly the same as newicktops but the
       output is rendered into a text file.

       This manual page was rewritten for the  Debian  GNU/Linux  distribution
       because the original program does not have a manual page.

       njplot is a tree drawing program able to draw any binary tree expressed
       in the standard phylogenetic tree format (e.g., the format used by  the
       PHYLIP  package).   NJplot  is  especially  convenient  for rooting the
       unrooted trees obtained from parsimony, distance or maximum  likelihood
       tree-building methods.

       Any  rooting  of the unrooted tree can be interactively specified using
       the mouse. NJplot also allows  zooming,  branch  swapping,  display  of
       bootstrap  scores  and  printing  in  the PostScript format. NJplot can
       therefore  be  used  as  a  graphical  extension  of  any  package   of
       phylogenetic program which employs the standard tree format for storing
       trees (i.e., with most such packages).

OPTIONS

       There are only the following options which only work in an  x-terminal-
       emulator, but not in console mode:

       -h     Prints out brief help.

       -us    Postscript tree file prepared for US Letter paper size.

       -psonly
              No window interface, just write the postscript tree file.

       -size n
              Font size n used for taxon names.

       -lengths
              Show branch lengths if they appear in tree file.

       -boot  Show bootstrap values if they appear in tree file.
