The Tree Viewing Window
-- The tree viewing window is opened when a tree has been calculated - from an alignment, or imported via a file or web service. It includes menus for - controlling layout and file and figure creation, and enables - various selection and colouring operations on the - associated sequences in the alignment.
-
-Selecting Sequence Leaf Nodes
- Selecting sequence ids at the leaves of the tree selects the
- corresponding sequences in the original alignment. These selections
- are also reflected in any other analysis windows associated with the
- alignment, such as another tree viewer.
Grouping sequences by partitioning the tree at a particular distanec
- Clicking anywhere along the extent of the tree (but not on a leaf or
- internal node) defines a tree 'partition', by cutting every branch
- of the tree spanning the depth where the mouse-click occurred. Groups
- are created containing sequences at the leaves of each connected
- sub tree. These groups are each given a different colour, which are
- reflected in other windows in the same way as if the sequence ids
- were selected, and can be edited in the same way as user defined
- sequence groups.
-
Tree partitions are useful for comparing clusters produced by -different methods and measures. They are also an effective way of -identifying specific patterns of conservation and mutation -corresponding to the overall phylogenetic structure, when combined -with the conservation -based colour scheme.

-Selecting Subtrees and changing the branch order and subtree group colour
-Moving the mouse over an internal node of the tree will highlight
- it. You can then :

This menu allows the displayed tree to be saved as a Newick tree -file (Save→Newick File), printed or exported as an image (PNG) or -Postscript file. Finally, data used to calculate the tree can be -retrieved with the 'Input Data...' entry. -
-View Menu
-When the tree viewer is opened, it displays all the annotation -associated with a tree. Trees calculated by Jalview have branch -lengths, which correspond to the distance measure used to construct -the tree. Tree imported from outside may also contain bootstrap information, -and additional leaves from sequences not present in the associated -alignment. -
-The view menu mostly contains options controlling the way a tree is -rendered and labeled: -
-The tree layout will be scaled to fit in the display -window. You may need to reduce the font size to minimise the leaf -label overlap when this option is selected. -
-Brings up a dialog box to set the font size for the leaf -names. n is the current font size. -
-Labels each branch or leaf with its associated branch -length.
-Labels each branch or leaf with its associated bootstrap value. -
-Toggles the display of a '*' at the beginning of a leaf label to -indicate that there is no sequence corresponding to that leaf in the -associated alignment. -
- Sorts any associated alignment views using the current tree. (Only - available in the Jalview Desktop) -
-- Only visible when there are multiple - views of the same alignment to show and edit which alignment views - are associated with the leaves of the displayed tree. -
