TreeView is a free program for drawing phylogenies on Apple Macs and
Windows PCs. The program reads NEXUS, PHYLIP, Clustal W and similar tree
formats.
Version 1.2 is now available on the Taxonomy at Glasgow server
(http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/treeview.html).
Changes in version 1.2
=======================
Support for Hennig86. TreeView can read and write Hennig86 tree files.
As implied above, TreeView can now save trees in the same formats it can
read, so it can be used to convert tree files to different formats.
The font used to label internal nodes (and the scale bar) can be changed
independently of the font used to label the terminal taxa.
Platform specific changes
=========================
The Win32 version now supports the Windows95 look and feel (i.e., long
file names, Explorer style Open and Save dialog boxes, new 16 x 16
icons, etc). The distribution file for the Win32 version is rather
larger the other versions (sorry), even though the program itself is not
much bigger. This is because it comes with a new installation program
that obeys the Windows95 rules for installing programs (i.e., associates
icons with the document, enters the program in the registry, and
provides for an Uninstall option).
The Mac version has a couple of minor bugs (to do with the font menu and
file closing) fixed.
Manual
======
The manual is no longer distributed with the program, instead it is
online
(http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/treeview/treeview_manual.html).
