Best renderer at the moment? #12

Closed karolisr closed 5 years ago

karolisr commented 10 years ago

I am planning to dedicate some time to work on python tool for generating nexss annotations. In order to test if the generated nexss file works as expected, I would like to visually inspect the output. I have been using ETE to do this, many annotations are not supported at the moment. What is the best way to visually inspect nexss decorated trees? Should I keep checking out the latest version of ETE? Or perhaps Mesquite is more up to date? Are there plans to have all nexss annotations supported in these visualizers soon or should I chill for a few months until the support caches up? Thanks!

I've worked on the NexSS interpreter for ETE. What annotations are not showing up? Can you post your stylesheet and tree somewhere?

The interepreter should pick up any attribute directly on the NeXML NODE element, or a similarly named child META element, as described here. It doesn't currently check for metadata on the associated OTU, but this would be fairly easy to add.

I think probably ETE is the best renderer at the moment.

Thanks. This was more of a defensive question as I have not tried anything new since I got back from Michigan. It is nice to hear things are moving along. I am becoming increasingly more excited about having a standard like this!
