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.
