TV(1)

💖 TREEVIEW X 💖

okay so bestie, you found the TreeView X page in the User Manuals section (that's section 1, iykyk) 💅 and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic." let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

TreeView_X — the girlies know her as the program that displays and prints phylogenetic trees 🌳🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tv [filename]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one command, optional file, main character energy. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so tv is literally the program that launches the TreeView X GUI. like, it's the door, and behind the door is a whole graphical app. 🚪✨

TreeView X is open source and multi-platform, and its whole thing is displaying phylogenetic trees. she can read and display NEXUS and Newick format tree files — the kind of files that get spat out by PAUP*, ClustalX, TREE-PUZZLE, and other programs too (she's not picky, she's generous 🫶).

she also lets you order the branches of the trees, and export the trees in SVG format. like, yes, get that vector goodness. 🎀

and here's the cute part: if you start it from the command line and pass filename as an argument, TreeView X will open the tree stored in filename. so:

tv mytree.nex

and boom, your tree is up. no cap. 🌈

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

ngl bestie, at present there is no documentation for TreeView X. 😭 not a single one. in the meantime, please go look at the online documentation for TreeView — but remember, and this is important, TreeView X has only a subset of the features of TreeView. so don't go expecting everything in that doc to exist here. 🙈
