Abstract
UNLABELLED: TreeSnatcher is a GUI-driven JAVA application for the semi-automatic recognition of multifurcating phylogenetic trees in pixel images. The program accepts an image file as input and analyzes the topology and the metrics of a tree depicted. The analysis is carried out in a multiple-stage process using algorithms from image analysis. In the end, TreeSnatcher produces a Newick tree code that represents the tree structure optionally including branch lengths. TreeSnatcher can process trees with 100 leaves or more in a few seconds. AVAILABILITY: TreeSnatcher was developed in JAVA under Mac OS X and is executable on UNIX/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X systems. The application and its documentation can be freely downloaded from http://www.cibiv.at/software/treesnatcher.Mesh:
