Topo-phylogeny.zip

Topo-phylogeny is an alternative approach to displaying phylogenetic relationships. It visualizes each node of a tree as a point on a two-dimensional map, with the placement, surrounding color and distance from other nodes determined by its attraction to parent and sister nodes, branch length, and hierarchical level. Topographic contour shapes indicate which level related nodes are connected at. Gaps between clusters indicate clades from a different lineage.
