PHYVIEW(1)

💅 PHYVIEW(1) — a girl's guide to the phyview manual page ✨

okay so this is the page for PHYVIEW(1), and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, which is where all the good stuff hangs out. sit down bestie, we're looking at trees today 🌳💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

bppml — a Phylogenetic viewer and editor written with Bio++ 🧚

(and yes, the name on the tin says bppml, we are not going to question it, we are just going to accept it, periodt)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

phyview [arguments]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. arguments optional, main character energy mandatory 💅

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

All UNIX flavors. every single one. she's universal, she's everywhere, she ate 🍓

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

phyview lets you visualize, edit, print and output phylogenetic trees and the associated data. that's four (4) whole verbs and honestly? iconic. no cap. 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• file — a tree file to open. by default, it's in the newick format (the classic, the blueprint, the original). pass a file and she'll read it, no notes 💜
• --nhx — switches the input format over to 'NHX'. boom. done. different flavor unlocked 🫶
• --nexus — switches the input format over to 'nexus'. the other flavor. pick your fighter 🔥
• --enc [text codec] — specifies the file name encoding, but only if it's different from the system default. for a list of available encodings, go check the Qt documentation — she's not repeating them all here, that's a whole other page bestie 😭

💖 AUTHOR 💖

the The Bio++ Development Team. legends, honestly. they did that 🧚✨

heads up: everything above is the whole page. nothing hidden, nothing extra, no invented flags. what you see is what you get, fr fr 🙈

and that's a wrap on this little manual page 💀💅 she was short, she was sweet, she was LOCAL, and she's dated the same way she's always been — no date on the tin, just PHYVIEW(1) holding it down at the bottom. bye bestie, go draw a tree 🌳🌸
