Usage

Note: CFE Tree Maker requires trees be generated from Clustal!

To use CFE Tree Maker, run the following command:

cfetree input.newick output.pdf

Alternatively, import it into your own project:

t = load_tree("A,B,C;")
export_tree(t, "/tmp/tree.pdf", "My tree")

This will generate a PDF file containing the phylogenetic tree.
