Phylo_plotter


I revised this project a bit and replaced the zipped files on Dropbox (here). I got the fonts looking pretty good. And I modified it to use a config file that specifies values for various attributes. The attr dictionary can be modified by including another file that just shows the changed values. That should make it easy enough for a non-programmer to use (I think). It looks like this:

e_node_label_size:10
e_node_dots_visible:True
e_node_bar_color:k
e_node_dot_size:25

I'm still thinking about how to use forms to run this thing. But the first answer I got from Stack Overflow is that you have to use a server. Maybe I should just write an app that acts like a browser but forwards to a local script?
