    >
  • we're using a Newick parser from http://olduvai.sourceforge.net/tj/index.shtml, it's included in the archive
    >
  • we couldn't figure out how to load the included data file, so there's a hardcoded path to a Newick tree file at the top of the source code that you'll need to change if you want to run it
    >

> Feel free to ask any questions about the code.  Next we'd like to make
> it a smoother/zooming interface instead of a jumpy one.

> Thanks to the organizers of Processing Time, we had a lot of fun!
