How to plot a dendrogram with all its leaves starting in the same distance

[Alejandro Alvarez]

Greetings,

I am having problems to fixing the distance of the first leaves on the
tree. Generally, the package produces something like this:

/-asujm
/---|
| | /-dgoxb
| \---|
----| \-vwfdl
|
| /-fgrqo
\---|
\-yabte

but i need something like this

/------ asujm
/---|
| | /- dgoxb
| \---|
----| \- vwfdl
|
| /------ fgrqo
\---|
\------ yabte

Where all the leaves are in the same initial distance. Someone can
help me? I can see nothing about in the tutorial.

Thanks everyone.

Hola Alejandro,

Have you tried with "tree.convert_to_ultrametric()" function"?
http://packages.python.org/ete2/reference/reference_tree.html#ete2.TreeNode.convert_to_ultrametric

You can use two strategies: "balanced" (default. All branch lengths are modified as needed) or "fixed" (only terminal branch lengths are adjusted to end at the same point). Is this what you need?

Hi,

Thanks, my problem has been solved, using the function that you
suggest.

Thanks, you are the master :-)
