✨ NAME ✨

pxtgen — generate all tree topologies for n taxa 🌳🌳🌳

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pxtgen [OPTIONS]...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically? She generates all the tree topologies for n taxa, and n has to be <= 10. That's the whole vibe. Ten is the ceiling, don't push her. 💅

Also, heads up: random tree samples are a-coming. 👀 Like, fr fr, that's a future thing, not a right-now thing. Noted, documented, moving on.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -n, --ntax=INT — the number of taxa. that's the n. that's the whole point. 🌱
• -r, --rooted — says whether the generated trees are rooted or not. default is false, so no rootedness unless you ask for it, periodt. ✨
• -c, --count — not me just telling you how many possible trees exist for n taxa and then dipping. gives you the number and exits, iconic behavior. 🔢
• -l, --label=STRING — the prefix label for your taxon names. default is 't'. 🏷️
• -o, --outf=FILE — output file. if you don't give one it goes to STOUT otherwise. 📁
• -h, --help — shows you this help and bounces. 🙈
• -V, --version — shows the version and exits, slay. ⭐
• -C, --citation — shows the phyx citation and exits, because academia said cite us or else. 📚
