Visualizing TNT trees

[Mike]

Hi folks,

How can I open a TNT tree (parenthetic format, with branch length
tags) in Figtree? Or how can I convert the trees into a usable -- and
esthetically pleasing ;-) -- format?

Thank you!

Hi Mike

In the latest version of TNT (august 2010), it is possible to save
trees as svg, the results are esthetically pleasing -- at least for me
;) -- and can be easily edited with commercial (e.g. illustrator) or
free (e.g. inkscape) vectorial editors... Or if you like the code, in
a plain text editor!

The key command is ttag... if you want to save the strict consensus
(for example) use something like this:

ttag = ;
nel ; /* Here you can set the result of
resampling, or bremer support, etc */
ttag &cons.svg ;

If you want to save the tree 6 for example

ttag *6 :
ttag &tree6.svg ;

Check out the help for ttag :)

Hope you find this info useful!

Best regards,
Salvador

Dear Mike, the steps I use are described below (certainly exist a lot of other elegant ways to do this, but I know just these):

With your analyses done, go to the tab TREES>MULTIPLE TAGS>STORE TREE TAGS>FILE>TREE SAVE FILES>OPEN, PARENTHETICAL.

at this moment the program will open a window suggesting you to choose a directory to save your archive (and it’s name).

Now, go to FILE>TREE SAVE FILE>CLOSE TREE FILE.

I use to close my TNT window, just to superstition…

 

Now open the same matrix you used to run your analysis on TNT with the program winclada (http://www.cladistics.com/about_winc.htm), now goes to FILE>OPEN TREE FILE, and inform the program where is your tree file and open it.

 

If everything ran ok until now, you can simply open the tab FILE and CREATE A COREL METAFILE, and voilá!, choose a name to your file and now you are able to open it on the Coreldraw (I never tried other one…) and edit as you want.

 

Well, I wait you can solve your issues now!

With best regards

David

Hi Mike,

You can export your data (including trees) to Nexus format in TNT, that
can be read by Figtree.

Command:
export*;

I'm not sure about branch length tags. I think you can't export the tree
with the tags to Nexus.
The best option looks SVG format, as Salvador said.

Cheers,

Camilo
