Hi Jaime,

Can you post a link to the kind of image you want to make? I'm not
familiar with ETE2 so I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for.
However, I suspect it is not yet possible with the Bio.Phylo code as it
is, but extending it or automating adding the images on top of the tree
output might be?

Which of the backends or image types are you hoping to use? e.g. SVG, PNG?
