TreeViewer is a cross-platform program to draw phylogenetic trees. It is based on a "modular" approach, in which small modules are used to perform individual actions (such as computing the coordinates of the nodes of the tree, or drawing the tree branches) that together contribute to the final plot.

This Wiki contains general information on how to use TreeViewer, a few examples, and instructions on how to contribute to the program by creating new modules.

Download the latest release of TreeViewer for your operating system from the program's website.
