Hi All, I want to be able to change the labe size on a tree when using ape package so that the graph can look nicer, but don't know how. Playing with the "font" doesn't seem to help. (Right now the labels barely show.) Thanks for your help! Code I'm using now #------------------------- t1 = "(((1:77.37,2:77.37):9.4,4:86.77):7.56,3:94.33);" t2 = "((1:12.56,(2:10.11,4:10.11):2.45):1.64,3:14.2);" t3= "(((1:57.54,3:57.54):11.54,4:69.08):4.13,2:73.21);" t4 "(1:59.27,((2:34.77,3:34.77):6.99,4:41.76):17.51);" t5 "(((1:22.26,4:22.26):3.4,3:25.66):15.81,2:41.47);" t6 = "(((1:23.3,2:23.3):22.2,3:45.5):37.88,4:83.38);" t7 "(((1:18.49,3:18.49):1.14,4:19.63):5.93,2:25.56);" t8 "((1:40.26,2:40.26):31.51,(3:38.99,4:38.99):32.78);" t9 "(1:60.72,((2:15.57,4:15.57):5.07,3:20.64):40.08);" t10 "((1:54.81,3:54.81):13.81,(2:64.24,4:64.24):4.38000000000001);" t11 "((1:61.44,3:61.44):26.94,(2:26.52,4:26.52):61.86);" t12 "((1:11.05,(3:10.15,4:10.15):0.9):68.71,2:79.76);" t13 "(((1:39.53,3:39.53):6.25,4:45.78):3.09,2:48.87);" t14 "((1:55.12,(2:37.99,3:37.99):17.13):18.28,4:73.4);" t15 "((1:73.39,(2:54.24,4:54.24):19.15):20.58,3:93.97);" library(ape) ft = c(5,5,5,5) postscript("test.ps") par(mfrow=c(5,3)) plot(read.tree(text=t1),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t2),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t3),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t4),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t5),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t6),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t7),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t8),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t9),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t10),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t11),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t12),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t13),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t14),font=ft) plot(read.tree(text=t15),font=ft) dev.off()
