Draw leaf stems of polytomies in light gray too

[jaredkhan]

Polytomies in the default Spiral view are drawn in light grey but the stems of the leafs are drawn in dark grey. This includes midnodes that are children of polytomies. I wonder if it'd be clearer of those stems reflected the polytomy-ness of the parent so that dark gray always indicates genuine phylogeny knowledge.

Current situation:

Mockup of polytomy-aware stems:

Think it also has the benefit of being visually a bit cleaner because there's not so much gray-to-darkgray boundaries

Shouldn't the leaf connection to KI89A also be light gray?

[jaredkhan]

@davidebbo maybe yeah, was just a scrappy mockup, but I guess part of the point is that it’s not obvious at the moment whether that is a genuine sibling of the polytomy or part of it.

But maybe if I thought harder about it it would be clear haha

[davidebbo]

Yes, it definitely part of the polytomy. Otherwise, the polytomy would only have 2 leaves, and it wouldn't be a polytomy :)
