Zero-dependency trees

This example demonstrates how to visualise trees using iplotx’s internal SimpleTree, a simple tree representation via the children attribute.

Tip

This provider is not as powerful as proper tree libraries such as cogent3 or ETE4. It can be especially useful when you do not want to add dependencies or for educational purposes.

import iplotx as ipx

tree = {
    "children": (
        {},
        {
            "children": (
                {
                    "children": (
                        {"branch_length": 1.5},
                        {}
                    )
                },
                {
                    "children": (
                        {},
                        {}
                    )
                }
            )
        }
    )
}

# Convert to our simple tree data structure
tree = ipx.ingest.providers.tree.simple.SimpleTree.from_dict(tree)

ipx.tree(
    tree,
)

Note

iplotx does not generally provide network or tree data structures. This is an exception to demonstrate how to visualise trees without external dependencies.
