Styled square tree

[daisieh]

Apparently I’d finished this two years ago but never merged it. Styled Square Tree renders the parts of branches as lines instead of polygons and allows variable branch widths.

I am attaching a test file here...zipped, because GitHub won't let me drop a raw nexus file.

Thanks, Daisie. Too bad we didn't communicate more. I had built Square Line Tree, which has at least the two basic properties you mention, sometime around four years ago. It was the default tree drawer when Mesquite 3.0 was released in 2014. Was there much else in your code beyond those two properties (branches as lines, variable width)?

I have no idea! I'm sure I can use Square Line Tree instead of this, but I had used it to build some of the NexSS features, so I'll have to refactor those to build on yours instead. It's fine.

This is an example of why we need to get out development process more in line with standards, if Wayne and I can manage it. Although we advertise that the core development fork is wmaddisn/MesquiteCore, since we do our process in what seems to be an atypical way, folks don't look for the latest code there. We should have a Skype with Wayne soon to hammer out the best workflow for code that works with us.

I'm still in the midst of looking through the code for SquareLineTree, but does it handle varying edge width per branch, i.e. thick lines for high support values?
