The commandline tool gnuclad allows creating beautiful cladogram trees and more. Application source code can be downloaded at https://launchpad.net/gnuclad and needs to be compiled before the tool is usable. When using Ubuntu (14.04) download and compilation can be done by running commands shown below in terminal:
wget https://launchpad.net/gnuclad/trunk/0.2/+download/gnuclad-0.2.4.tar.gz tar -xvf gnuclad-0.2.4.tar.gz cd gnuclad-0.2.4/ sh configure make sudo make install
Following this, the tool is usable from commandline. To render a cladogram tree data needs to be formatted as CSV file while detailed configuration options are placed in a separate configuration file. You can see an example below:
gnuclad example.csv SVG example.conf
