[Bioperl-l] How to show branch length value in tree

[Roy Chaudhuri]

Hi Shachi,

I don't think you can draw labels on branches using 
Bio::Tree::Draw::Cladogram. However, it will draw node labels, so you 
could copy the branch lengths over to the node ids:

my $obj1 = Bio::Tree::Draw::Cladogram->new(-bootstrap => 1,
                                            -tree    => $t1,
                                            -compact => 0);
for my $node ($tree->get_nodes) {
     $node->id($node->branch_length) if defined $node->branch_length;
}
$obj1->print(-file => "$dir/$stem.eps")

Incidentally, in your script you write the tree out to a file, then read 
it back in using TreeIO. This is unnecessary, you can use $tree directly 
as input to Bio::Tree::Draw::Cladogram.

Alternatively, you could write out a newick file and use non-Bioperl 
software such as njplot or MEGA to draw your tree with labelled branch 
lengths.

Cheers,
Roy.
