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 needs no X11 display.  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 or multi-branched 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 saving 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.

       -pc n  number of pages for PostScript output.

       -psize widthxheight
              size of PostScript page expressed as WIDTHxHEIGHT.

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

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

       -notitle
              Don't include title in PostScript output.
