New Template? #7

Open SimonGreenhill opened 7 years ago

I like to run analyses using CTMC+Gamma=1 to compare to CTMC+Gamma=4 (especially for small datasets). The current BinaryCTMC template defaults to CTMC+Gamma=4. It's not too much hassle to turn off Gamma in BEAUTi, but it strikes me as easier done with a template.

Is this the type of thing Babel wants to have (e.g. rename BinaryCTMC to BinaryCTMCGamma and create a new template for BinaryCTMC)? If so I can rework the existing template and submit a pull request.

There are already 3 main templates in Babel, so adding more would clutter the GUI even more -- it would have my preference to do this through the GUI. In theory, this should be easy in BEAUti: in the site model panel, just switch between the 4 gamma categories with 1, and copy over the site model to partitions (select all partitions, then use the 'clone from' functionality).
