FigTree For Linux

FigTree is designed as a graphical viewer of phylogenetic trees and as a program for producing publication-ready figures. It is designed to display summarized and annotated trees produced by BEAST.

To export the figure for publication or further editing in a graphics package, select "Export PDF" from the file menu to save as a PDF file.

Saving the tree from within FigTree will save in NEXUS format but add special comments and a command block which will enable FigTree to keep all the settings and annotations made to the tree. Other programs (such as PAUP) should ignore these settings. You can also 'Copy and Paste' the tree into any application that accepts text (the result will be a NEXUS format tree file).
