1 year ago Hi! Thanks for using TreeViewer!
It should be relatively easy to achieve what you are trying to do. Instead of using just the name of the host (e.g., Haliclona), you should use something like {Haliclona:1}. For example, your attachment file may look something like this:
Strain1 {Haliclona:1}
Strain2 {Hyrtios:1}
Strain3 {Petrosia:1}
Strain4 {Haliclona:1}
...Incidentally, you can use this kind of syntax also to assign multiple states to a single tip - e.g., if you have a strain that can establish symbiotic relationships both with Haliclona and Hyrtios, you can use {Haliclona:1,Hyrtios:1}. This will cause the node state on the tree to be coloured with the colours for both states (you can get different styles by playing with the settings in the Appearance section):
You can also change the numbers to assign a different weight to one state - e.g., {Haliclona:1,Hyrtios:2} will give the Hyrtios state twice as much weight as Haliclona:
I hope this makes sense, let me know if you have any other questions!

Hello!
I have been using TreeViewer to plot data on my trees and I have found it very convenient and could create nice visualizations. However I am running into some issues with my new tree. I wish to plot data about hosts of some symbionts I am studying on the tips of my phylogeny. However, it seems that TreeViewer only accounts for the first character in the column of my attribute. Example, I would have the following hosts:
Haliclona Hyrtrios Petrosia
TreeViewer would display two colors, one for "H" (the two hosts starting by H) and one for "P". I have thought about assigning a single letter for each of my host but I have more hosts than letters in the alphabet. I have also tried with number but it is the same, eventually TreeViewer would read "2", "21", "29" as the same thing.
I am wondering how to circumvent this! Thank you for your time.
