TreeGraph 2 - A feature rich and easy to use phylogenetic tree editor
TreeGraph 2 is a is graphical editor for phylogenetic trees, which allows to apply various of graphical formats and edit operations and supports several (visible or invisible) annotations attached to nodes or branches. Data can be imported from many tree formats, tables and BayesTraits output. A key feature is the interactive comparison and combination of alternative topologies from different analyses. TreeGraph 2 is licensed under GNU General Public License.
TreeGraph 2 is developed by Ben Stöver, Sarah Wiechers, and Kai Müller.
If you need help on using TreeGraph 2 or want to know more feel free to ask a question on its ResearchGate project page or contact supportbioinfweb.info. You can find more software developed by the authors at http://bioinfweb.info/Software.

Key features
- Read trees in Newick, Nexus format (including annotations in hot comments), NeXML or PhyloXML
- Import annotations from text files or combine information from different phylogenetic analyses
- An unlimited number of numerical or textual annotations on every branch
- Export trees to various vector and (anti-aliased) pixel graphic formats (e.g., PDF, SVG, EMF or PNG)
- Many global and element specific formats like line width or color and text formats
- Versatile editing and formatting options, such as automatically setting branch widths or colors according to the value of any attached data
- Editing operations like rerooting, ladderizing or moving and collapsing nodes or copying or manually creating whole clades
- Generate commands and import data for ancestral state reconstruction.
Getting started
Command line precursor
The command line based precursor of TreeGraph 2 allows creating annotated trees in a LaTeX like language and can be found under http://treegraph.bioinfweb.info/Version1.
