NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::DrawTree - use Phylip DrawTree program to draw trees

SYNOPSIS

         use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::DrawTree;

         my $treedraw = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::DrawTree->new();
         my $treeimagefile = $drawfact->run($tree);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a module for automating drawing of trees through Joe Felsenstein's Phylip suite.

       To set parameters with option you need to pass in an array reference or a string,
       depending on the parameter. For example:

         $treedraw->HORIZMARGINS(['2.00','2.5']);
         $treedraw->ANCESTRALNODES('C');
         $treedraw->TREESTYLE('PHEN');
         $treedraw->USEBRANCHLENS('N');

       This can be a brittle module as the menus change in PHYLIP.  It should support phylip 3.6
       but no guarantees.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
