FigTree v1.4.3 time scale offset not working correctly?

[Kurt Wollenberg]

Hi everyone:

I've been working my way through the BEAST Rates and Dates demo and am now trying to make the final tree figure. Everything looks good, but when I try to scale the time axis to reflect the dates of the samples (and the estimated date of the common ancestor) I am having trouble. Everything seems to work correctly until I try to offset the time scale so the furthest-right label is "2009" and works back from there. Changing the offset from 0 to 2009 shoves the gridlines off to the right of the figure along with a bunch of axis labels for times beyond the sample date (see attached screenshot). Also it appears using a scale factor of "-1.0" with the "Reverse axis" option has the dates increasing from the tips to the root of the tree figure. Using a scale factor of 1.0 seems to correct this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Kurt

Please try the recently released 1.4.4. I think I remember fixing the issue with the grid lines. But you should reverse axis, but keep the scale factor at 1.0 (and set the offset to 2009).

I'm still getting time axis errors with FigTree 1.4.4. Gridlines are
still shifted off to the right and axis and labels also run off the
figure to the right (see attached screenshot). Other than this
cosmetic error the time axis looks good.
