[Phylobase-devl] Plotting algorithms

[Hilmar Lapp]

FigTree is open-source now: http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/

JEBL has a tree drawer and widget: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jebl/

Re: iTol, personally I would never look at source code that isn't OSI  
licensed, because of what's called tainting. If you end up writing  
code that just happens to mirror the code of a closed-source piece  
that you inspected, in theory and depending on the circumstances you  
can end up liable for copyright infringement. That's why I would not  
even want to see any code under an NDA or other closed-source  
agreement. (BTW iTol is Flash-based.)
