removing artificial root branch #30

Closed leomrtns closed 4 months ago

leomrtns commented 4 months ago

Hello! When rerooting the tree (using midpoint or selecting the branch as far as I tested) an artificial branch is added (the leftmost branch, before the LCA node). Is it possible to remove this branch, since its length, for instance, does not have meaning?

In FigTree this can be done by setting "Root Length" to zero.

cheers Leo

Hi! Sure, in the options for the Branches Plot action module, you need to uncheck the Root branch check box.
