Defined in:

Overview

Description

Bio::PhyloXML::Writer is for writing phyloXML (version 1.10) format files.

Requirements

Libxml2 XML parser is required. Install libxml-ruby bindings from libxml.rubyforge.org or

gem install -r libxml-ruby

Usage

 require 'bio'

# Create new phyloxml parser
phyloxml = Bio::PhyloXML::Parser.open('example.xml')

# Read in some trees from file
tree1 = phyloxml.next_tree
tree2 = phyloxml.next_tree

# Create new phyloxml writer
writer = Bio::PhyloXML::Writer.new('tree.xml')

# Write tree to the file tree.xml
writer.write(tree1)

# Add another tree to the file
writer.write(tree2)

Constructor Details

#initialize(filename, indent = true) ⇒ Writer

Create new Writer object. As parameters provide filename of xml file you wish to create. Optional parameter is whether to indent or no. Default is true. By default branch_length is written as subelement of clade element.

#write_other(other_arr) ⇒ Object

PhyloXML Schema allows to save data in different xml format after all phylogeny elements. This method is to write these additional data.

parser = PhyloXML::Parser.open('phyloxml_examples.xml')
writer = PhyloXML::Writer.new('new.xml')

parser.each do |tree|
  writer.write(tree)
end

# When all the trees are read in by the parser, whats left is saved at
# PhyloXML::Parser#other
writer.write(parser.other)
