NAME

Bio::Phylo::Unparsers::Pagel - Unparses pagel data files. No serviceable parts inside.

DESCRIPTION

This module unparses a Bio::Phylo data structure into an input file for Discrete/Continuous/Multistate. The pagel file format (as it is interpreted here) consists of:

first line

the number of tips, the number of characters

subsequent lines

offspring name, parent name, branch length, character state(s).

During unparsing, the tree is randomly resolved, and branch lengths are formatted to %f floats (i.e. integers, decimal point, integers).

The pagel module is called by the Bio::Phylo::IO object, so look there to learn how to create Pagel formatted files.
