NEW: NJplot can now draw multibranched trees AND can zoom.
11
NJplot is a tree drawing program able to draw any phylogenetic tree expressed in the
12
<a href=http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/newicktree.html>Newick</a> phylogenetic tree format (<I>e.g.</I>, the format used by the
13
PHYLIP package). NJplot is especially convenient for rooting the unrooted trees
14
obtained from parsimony, distance or maximum likelihood tree-building methods.</p>
16
<H3>Use of NJPlot</H3>
17
Any rooting of the unrooted tree can be interactively specified using the mouse.
18
NJplot also allows zooming, branch swapping, display of bootstrap scores and
19
printing in the PostScript format. NJplot can therefore be used as a graphical
20
extension of any package of phylogenetic programs which employs the standard
21
tree format for storing trees (<I>i.e.</I>, with most such packages).

<b>Note for unix/linux users</b>: In case of problem with default fonts, the font used by menus
25
and buttons can be changed through the resource mechanism:
26
<br>- add to your $HOME/.Xdefaults file the single line
27
<br><tt>Vibrant.systemfont : Helvetica,14,b</tt>
28
<br>and activate the change by running command <tt>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults</tt>
29
<br>- you may change the font name (times, courier, fixed) and size.
30
<br>- For that change to apply systemwide, create a file named Vibrant and containing the above line
31
in directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults or in a directory pointed to by environment variable
35
<H3>Use as a helper application</H3>
36
NJplot can be used as a standalone application or as a helper
37
application when using the World Wide Web. In this case, prospective
38
users must <A HREF="/help/helpers.html">configure</A> their WWW browser
