Bio::Tree::NodeNHX - A Simple Tree Node with support for NHX tags use Bio::Tree::NodeNHX; my $nodeA = new Bio::Tree::NodeNHX(); my $nodeL = new Bio::Tree::NodeNHX(); my $nodeR = new Bio::Tree::NodeNHX(); my $node = new Bio::Tree::NodeNHX(); $node->add_Descendents($nodeL); $node->add_Descendents($nodeR); print "node is not a leaf \n" if( $node->is_leaf); Makes a Tree Node with NHX tags, suitable for building a Tree. See Bio::Tree::Node for a full list of functionality.
