NAME

Bio::Phylo::Treedrawer - An object-oriented facade for drawing trees.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Phylo::Treedrawer;
use Bio::Phylo::IO;

my $treedrawer = Bio::Phylo::Treedrawer->new(
   -width  => 400,
   -height => 600,
   -shape  => 'CURVY', # curvogram
   -mode   => 'CLADO', # cladogram
   -format => 'SVG'
);

my $tree = Bio::Phylo::IO->parse(
   -format => 'newick',
   -string => '((A,B),C);'
)->first;

$treedrawer->set_tree($tree);
$treedrawer->set_padding(50);

my $string = $treedrawer->draw;

DESCRIPTION

This module prepares a tree object for drawing (calculating coordinates for nodes) and calls the appropriate format-specific drawer.
