💖 UNROOTED(1) — the girlies' guide to drawing trees 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for unrooted, living in section 1 of the General Commands Manual. Come sit with me, we're gonna go through the whole thing together, no skipping, promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

unrooted — a phylogenetic tree drawing program for biologists 🌳

(that's literally the whole vibe: you're a biologist, you have a tree, this program draws it, we move)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unrooted [options] tree_file

so yeah, you pass it some options if you want, and then your tree_file, and it does its thing. periodt 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: this manual page documents the unrooted command briefly. Not me being lazy, that's just the assignment. It was rewritten for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. Like, none. Zero. So someone had to step up and here we are ✨

unrooted is part of the njplot tree drawing software package. That's its home, that's its family, that's where it belongs 🏡

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

now here's the tea, and it's important: there are only the following options, and they only work in an x-terminal-emulator — they do not work in console mode. So if you're sitting in a plain console like a gremlin, these flags are gonna ghost you 😭💀

  • -h — prints out brief help. Your little "hey what's up" from the program 💖
  • -psonly — no window interface at all, just write the PostScript tree file. It's giving "no talk, just work" 👑
  • -us — Postscript tree file prepared for US Letter paper size 📄 (yes, the American paper, we don't judge)
  • -size n — font size n used for taxon names. So n is where you put your number, and that number becomes how big the taxon names are ✨

This manual page was written by Dr. Guenter Bechly <gbechly@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). Shoutout to them for doing the Lord's work when the upstream program couldn't be bothered 🙈💅

okay and that's a wrap!! this page is dated April 10, 2001 and comes from the UNROOTED(1) manual in the General Commands Manual set — so like, technically this documentation is old enough to have its own driver's license, but the facts still hit fr fr 💖✨🌸 stay unrooted, stay iconic 🦋
