Scale bar in Phylotree.js #453

Open bonfaceonyango opened 4 months ago

bonfaceonyango commented 4 months ago

What are the units of the scale bar used in phylotree.js? Is it to showing the percentage distance between the nodes of the phylogeny tree? Like 0.04 is 40%

Dear @bonfaceonyango,

It's whatever the branches are scaled in. Typically, expected substitutions/site/unit time. So 0.04 would be ~4%.

Best, Sergei
