    Export Tree to File

    OCCURRENCE

    ARB_NT/Tree/Copy\Delete\Export\Import/EXPORT

     

    DESCRIPTION

    Writes a tree to file in Newick format

    Press the 'EXPORT' button to display the 'TREE SAVE' window.

    Select a tree file from the 'Directories and Files' subwindow or type the file name to the 'FILE NAME' subwindow.

    NEWICK TREE FORMAT

    Nodetype
    Species ID
    This is the traditional format using species IDs as leaf names.
    NDS
    (Export only!) This uses the current NDS tree settings as leaf names.
    Save branch lengths
    if marked, branchlengths are written to the tree file.
    Save bootstraps
    if marked, bootstraps are written to the tree file.
    Save groupnames
    if marked, groupnames (taxonomy) are written to the tree file.
    Name quoting
    choose whether and how to quote names for leafs and/or groups. Quoting names may be necessary to ensure other software is able to read the generated tree files.
    Replace problem chars
    if checked, problematic characters in names will be replaced (currently "()[]:;," plus used quote, if any)

    ARB_XML TREE FORMAT

    Simple XML Format (can't load yet)
    Hide folded groups
    If checked, folded groups will be exported as terminal node. Otherwise group contents will be written into tree file.
     

    NOTES

    If you select both 'Save groupnames' and 'Save bootstraps', other programs may be unable to load the tree or at least unable to interpret the bootstrap values correctly.

    If a suffix is displayed in or typed to the 'SUFFIX' subwindow, only the corresponding file names will be displayed. The suffix is automatically appended to the file name typed to the 'FILE NAME' subwindow.

    The different export types cause the suffix to change:

    • '.tree' for normal newick
    • '.ntree' for newick using NDS
    • '.xml' for xml

     

    WARNINGS

    Tree data written with the 'NDS' option cannot be reimported to the database without data loss!

    It's possible to reload such a tree, but it's leafs will not be linked to the correct species.
