drawing trees

[Michael Poidinger]

The Phylip programs drawgram and drawtree will produce postscript, 
depedning on whether you want rooted or unrooted trees respectively


I tend to use drawgram, changing tree type to phenogram, grows 
horizontally, angle of labes = 90

or for interactive phylip options:

L
N
1
2
P
4
90
y
