ResourceFunction["NewickDendrogram"][newickTree]

displays a Newick tree as a Dendrogram.

ResourceFunction["NewickDendrogram"][newickString]

imports a Newick tree from a String and then displays it as a Dendrogram.

Details and Options

A dendrogram is a tree visualization useful for expressing clustering similarity.

The Newick tree is a popular format for representing a phylogenetic tree, which is a type of dendrogram.

Display a Newick string as a dendrogram:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Import a Newick tree using the resource function ImportNewickString and render the imported tree as a dendrogram:

In[2]:=

Out[3]=

Trees of arbitrary depth are supported:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

If the Newick tree is not connected to a common ancestor node, multiple dendrograms are displayed:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Quite large trees can be rendered with legible substructure, at the cost of the resulting dendrogram being correspondingly large:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=
