2.4.9 Write distance matrices to a file.

The OutputDistanceMatrices filter writes distance matrices associated to blocks to a file, in the Phylip format. All matrices will be stored in the same file, one after the other.

Synopsis:

maf.filter=                                 \
    [...],
    OutputDistanceMatrices(                 \
        distance=MLdistance,                \
        file=data.distmat.ph,               \
        compression=gzip),                  \
    [...]

Arguments:

distance={string}

The tag used to store previously computed distance matrices.

file={none|{path}}

A file path where to write distance matrices, in the Phylip format.

compression={none|gzip|zip|bzip2}

Compression format for output file.

strip_names={boolean}

Tell if sequence names should be stripped. If so, all text after the first dot will be deleted. This is useful to get rid of the sequence coordinates. The option will have no effect in case the names do not contain coordinates.
