Drawing is very slow when layout='c' #63

Closed aleferna12 closed 1 year ago

aleferna12 commented 2 years ago

Hello! I have a relatively big (>8000 sequences) tree, which I would like to draw as a radial tree.

When layout='r', everything works fine, and the tree is drawn in a few seconds. However, when I set layout to 'c' (or 'circular'), the computation seemingly takes forever. After a few hours however I got back my SVG file.

Is there a reason for such a big difference in the time required for running both algorithms? Is there anything I can do to minimize the issue?

Thanks a lot.

Hi @aleferna12 ,

Sorry for my late reply. The time to generate layouts will significantly improve in the next update (v. 3.0). The circular layout was created in a fairly simple way at first, and has since been further optimized.

I will leave this open so I remember to send a message when the update is tested and released.

Alright! Thank you!
