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.
