Help - Tutorial:Taxon counts as branch widths

This tutorial demonstrates the ability of TreeGraph 2 to import node/branch data from tables and to display numeric values as formats (branch widths in this case). In our example we will import a text file containing taxon counts of different angiosperm orders into an angiosperm tree and visualize the data as branch widths.

If you want to reproduce the steps below you can download the necessary files here.

1) Creating a text file to be imported with a spreadsheet application

Demonstrated features

• Applying name tables (indirectly)

2) Importing the taxon counts and displaying them as branch widths

Demonstrated features

• Open files
• Hidden node/branch data
• Copying node/branch data
• Applying name tables
• Set distance values by node/branch data

3) Additionally displaying the taxon counts as labels

Demonstrated features

• Label
• Copying node/branch data
• Selecting elements
• Decimal format
