NJplot is a tool written in C (with French comments) that I use to plot Newick trees.

NJplot command-line example

When using NJplot from command line, the following should work:


njplot -psonly tree.txt

(assuming tree.txt exists, which it does). The reply I get, however, is the following:


Segmentation fault

To solve this problem, use the following command instead:


newicktops "tree.txt"

Your tree will be written to 'tree.ps'.

Personal NJplot source code remarks

Comments are written in French, where Enlish would allow more people to read these
Class and function names are written in French, where Enlish would allow more people to read these
Near-random indentation, rendering the code unreadable in some places
Use of a mysterious LisT data type (indeed, 'LisT'), where a more standard data type could probably be used as well
