hi folks, the current tree-drawing utility is quite good, about the best one left the web. trees are becoming increasingly more important as more genomes come in. http://genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/phyloGif
it desparately needs an option to display in monospaced font (menlo better than courier/anadale/monaco?) rather than than font it is doing now. the reason for this is as follows: users need to put in much more text and data into the tree and have it align character by character. a simple example where the tree topology needs to be retained so visitor can interpret the data properly: ie the T threonine in gorilla and orang was ancestral for a while, whereas F phenylalanine in rhesus and baboon just affected old world monkeys. tree drawing files...
