Node Panel

The node panel is the second panel on the tree toolbar.

This panel is used to:

• Change pie chart radius
• Turn on/off internal node labels
• Turn on/off tip labels
• Specify tip labels
• Color node labels by metadata
• Change node label font
• Adjust node label size

Turning on/off labels

The program decides whether or not to draw labels as a function of zoom level and font size. Node labels will not show unless the view is zoomed in enough that the labels will not overlap.

Note

Labels may still overlap in radial and polar views at low zoom levels.

Set labels as

This button produces a dialog which allows the user to set the tip labels as some metadata field or combination of fields.

Color by

Use this button to color the tip labels by tip data or sample data. All tree coloring functions are described in the Coloring Trees section of the Quick Start Tutorial.
