Phylogenetic Tree Visualization

Phylo tree dendrogram display

 1. Load a phylo tree file from "File"-->"Open", click on your tree data (e.g. anolis.phy);
 2. Choose "NO" if you just want to visualize the tree itself;

Heatmap Tree Visulization

 3. Choose "Yes" if you have a table data associated with the leaf nodes of the tree (e.g. anolisDataAppended.csv);
    You should be able to see the colored heatmap blocks rendered for each tree leaf node;

Collapse/Expand Subtrees

 4. You could collapse and expand subtrees by clicking around the "T" junctions of the tree;
    The collapsed subtrees will be displayed as elongated triangles, colored by the number of
    leaf nodes contained in each subtree.

Phylo Tree Analysis: Geiger Model Fitting

 5. Click on the ensemble tree (e.g. "anolis") , which includes the tree and its associated
    table data), and click from the menu ->"Analysis"->"GeigerTreeModelFitting"; Choose the
    model you would like to use (e.g. "OU"), and fill in the column data name you would like
    to fit the model with (e.g. "SVL").The key parameters of the model fitting results will be
    displayed in the generated table.

OneZoom Visualization

 6. Select (click on) a single tree (not the ensemble tree item), and click from the menu
    ->"Analysis" -> "OneZoom Visualization"; you should be able to interact with the tree.
