ivy: interactive visual phylogenetics

ivy is a lightweight library and an interactive visual programming environment for phylogenetics. It is built on a powerful foundation of open-source software components, including numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and IPython.

ivy emphasizes interactive, exploratory visualization of phylogenetic trees. For example:

#!/usr/bin/env ipython
from ivy.interactive import *

root = readtree("primates.newick")
fig = treefig(root)
