Re: [R-sig-phylo] multipage pdf of a huge tree
AFAIK almost any modern browser can render SVG natively - this is not the case for PDF, which will often require a plug-in from adobe. I don’t think I’ve seen this before, but you could probably generate web-friendly vector tree figures using SVG - there are options to explore this in adobe illustrator if you have it.

Re: [R-sig-phylo] multipage pdf of a huge tree
Hi Jonas, I am still curious, why you are trying to print your tree. For me the best useful praxis to look at huge (not as huge as yours) phylogenies is with an svg file -- this is viewable (and scalable) in any Webbrowser and you can manipulate easily with inkscape. To export it just use 'RSvgDevice' or 'cairoDevice'.

Actually, I used to make large size pdfs with a tiny font size in these cases. It is then even possible to print this single-page-pdf on multiple pages in Acrobat Reader. The problem was that my current tree is really huge - with about 23000 tips. This took me to the limits of this approach, since pdf size is limited to 200 inch by Adobe and there also seems to be a lower limit for font size in pdfs (at least during export form R?). I didn't knew that Drawtree is able to split the tree over multiple pages. I guess this is an option in the command line version? I will check that out.

#then additional annotations with:
nodelabels()
axis()
I want to cut my tree in 1/2 and plot each 1/2 on a separate page, but
maintain the axes and annotations. Splitting a tree is great but it’s not
super useful unless you can call other functions on the pieces. It would be
great to be able to generate axes for each piece of a split tree
independently and then annotate each one as if they were a separate plot.

Re: [R-sig-phylo] multipage pdf of a huge tree
OK - Actually I spoke too soon. That does work for nodelabels() and axis(), but
it does not work for the axisGeo function in phyloch - this only appears at the
bottom of the second half of the split plot when I split my tree in 1/2. Is
there an easy fix to get it to appear on both 1/2s?

Re: [R-sig-phylo] multipage pdf of a huge tree
Jonas Eberle -- thank you for your answer! Actually, I used to make large size pdfs with a tiny font size in these cases. It is then even possible to print this single-page-pdf on multiple pages in Acrobat Reader. The problem was that my current tree is really huge - with about 23000 tips. This took me to the limits of this approach, since pdf size is limited to 200 inch by Adobe and there also seems to be a lower limit for font size in pdfs (at least during export form R?). I didn't knew that Drawtree is able to split the tree over multiple pages. I guess this is an option in the command line version? I will check that out. In the mean time I found a way to do the job in R (see my post before) that seems to produce reasonable results. PHYLIP programs do not enter settings on the command-line. They have a menu. The Drawgram and Drawtree programs have a choice that gives a submenu in which multiple pages can be selected. This submenu is not available in the GUI (Java front end) version of those programs, but is available in the character-mode menu that appears if the program is run from the command line. It is the selection made by typing the character #. J.F.

However, my tree has several thousands of tips (yes, it's a bit crazy but unfortunately necessary...) and I guess it's only possible to split it on two pages with splitplotTree. Or am I missing something? It's not in R (unless available through Liam Revell's phytools package), but in PHYLIP the tree-drawing programs Drawgram and Drawtree have the capability of splitting a plot into a rectangular array of plots, and putting these out onto separate files (not PDFs, but Postscript is possible). This was intended to help people make large posters using printers that can only do a single page. However ... I do not see why this is necessary. Most tree-drawing programs should be able to write a file that has the large tree plotted on it.

Re: [R-sig-phylo] multipage pdf of a huge tree
One way to print a tree on multiple pages: In R, use the pdf() function and set the height of the page to be very large (say 110 inches if you want to print your tree on ten pages). Print the tree to the pdf file. Call dev.off() to close the pdf file. Then, when you print the tree with whatever you use, the printing program will print on multiple pages. Open the tree first before printing to preview to see if you have adequate space between taxa and adjust the height as needed. The page breaks may not be great and each page will have top and bottom margins, but will a scissors and tape, you can get an okay large single picture. I imagine, however, that a better way to visualize such a large tree would be to employ some hierarchy. The first page could show the root and enough of the tree to show a reasonable number of clades that can seen easily on a single page. Then each clade could be represented by its own rooted tree; if any single one is too big for a single page, then recurse. -Bret Larget ___ R-sig-phylo mailing list - R-sig-phylo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-phylo Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-phylo@r-project.org/
Re: [R-sig-phylo] multipage pdf of a huge tree
Hi Jonas. One option is to use the function splitPlotTree in phytools. By default it plots the split tree in two columns, but there is an option to split it into two windows. Then each plotted tree could be saved as a PDF. I will also investigate this to see if there is a better possibility. All the best, Liam J.

I thought of something like: 1. opening a pdf file 2. plotting a 'clipped' part of the tree (e.g. tips 1-100) as the first figure on page one 3. plotting the next part of the tree (tips 101-200) as the second figure on page two and so on... 4. closing the pdf file. However, clip() seems not to work with plot.phylo() from ape. I tried: library(phytools) tree - tree-pbtree(n=100,scale=1) plot.new() clip(x1=0, x2=1, y1=1, y2=50) par(new = TRUE) plot.phylo(tree) axis(side=1); axis(side=2) Does anybody know if this is possible and an effective way of doing this? Depending on the method of clipping (if there is more than one available), is the whole tree plotted internally in each step or even worse hiddenly embedded in the pdf? Thank you very much for your help!
