hyperbolic trees

[Richard Moe]

Hi taxacom:
At the University and Jepson herbaria we are experimenting with using hyperbolic maps to display phylogenetic trees and taxonomic indexes.
The maps work in a web browser using Java applets.
Relatively recent versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer are required. Some people think
that Dramamine is also required.
Take a look and let me know if you think this method shows promise.
