NAME

Bio::PhyloNetwork::GraphViz - Interface between PhyloNetwork and GraphViz

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::PhyloNetwork;
use Bio::PhyloNetwork::GraphViz;

my $net=Bio::PhyloNetwork->new(
    -eNewick=>'((H1,(H1,(H2,l))),H2)t0; (some long label)H1; ("quoted label")H2;'
);

my $gv=Bio::PhyloNetwork::GraphViz->new(-net=>$net,-short_labels=>1);

foreach my $u ($net->nodes()) {
    print "$u:".$gv->nodePN_to_nodeGV->{$u}."\n";
}

print $gv->as_text;

open my $PS, '>', "net.ps" or die "Could not write file 'net.ps': $!\n";
print $PS $gv->as_ps;
close $PS;

DESCRIPTION

This is a module to create GraphViz objects representing phylogenetic networks.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $graphv = new Bio::PhyloNetwork::GraphViz();
Function: Creates a new Bio::PhyloNetwork::GraphViz object
Returns : Bio::PhyloNetwork::GraphViz
Args    : -net => Bio::PhyloNetwork object
          -short_labels => boolean (optional)

Returns a Bio::PhyloNetwork::GraphViz object, which is an extension of a GraphViz object. The GraphViz object is a representation of the phylogenetic network given. The extra information the created object holds is a hash table with keys the nodes of the PhyloNetwork object and values the nodes of the GraphViz object. If the optional argument -short_labels=>1 is given, the labels of the nodes in GraphViz are shortened to a maximum of 3 letters.

nodePN_to_nodeGV

Title   : nodePN_to_nodeGV
Usage   : my $hashR=$graphv->nodePN_to_nodeGV()
Function: returns (a reference to) a hash holding the translation between
          nodes of the Bio::PhyloNetwork object and nodes of the GraphViz
          object
Returns : reference to hash
Args    : none
