2.4.8 Write trees to a file.

The OutputTrees filter writes trees associated to blocks to a file, in the Newick format. All trees will be stored in the same file, one per line.

Synopsis:

maf.filter=                                 \
    [...],
    OutputTrees(                            \
        tree=BioNJ,                         \
        file=data.trees.dnd,                \
        compression=gzip),                  \
    [...]

Arguments:

tree={string}

The tag used to store previously computed trees.

file={none|{path}}

A file path where to write trees, in the Newick format.

compression={none|gzip|zip|bzip2}

Compression format for output file.

strip_names={boolean}

Tell if leaf 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.
