  • update doc+gui:
    • avoid terms "ARB_NT" (=former name of main arb window), "ARB_NTREE" and similar
      • instead talk about "ARB main window"
    • correct refs to 'ARB/Probes/PT_SERVER Admin'.
    • update 'What are marked species?'.
    • update protection level documentation (parts already done with previous commit).
  • Property svn:eol-style set to native

14TITLE           ARB Parsimony
15
16OCCURRENCE      ARB/Tree/Add species to existing tree/Parsimony ...
17
18DESCRIPTION     The 'ARB_Parsimony' and the ARB main window are similar.
19                'ARB_Parsimony' replicates a smaller subset of the normal ARB's functions,
20                and additionally adds several tools for tree reconstruction and evaluation.
21
22        Clicking on the prompts in the horizontal menu bar in the upper part of
23        the window displays the corresponding submenus. The submenus are
24        also available using keyboard shortcuts by pressing the meta and
25        a letter key indicated in the main menu bar by underlining.
26
27        The elements in the area between the main menu bar and the tree display
28        area ('top area') from left to right:
29
30                * Tree button: Displays the name of the current tree.
31                * Stack button: Displays the number of currently stored tree topologies (see LINK{ap_stack.hlp}).
32                * Current parsimony value: Displays the parsimony value of the
33                  current topology (see LINK{pa_value.hlp}).
34                * Jump button: Centers the currently LINK{selected.hlp}.
35                * HELP button: Displays this help information.
36
37         Second row
38
39                * Radial tree display
40                * Dendrogram tree display
41                * RESTORE: restores previously stored topology
42                * STORE: stores the current topology for later restore
43                * Optimal parsimony value: Displays the best so far encountered parsimony value (see LINK{pa_reset.hlp}).
44
45        Main functions:
46
47        * quick adding species (see LINK{pa_quick.hlp})
48        * add species with local optimization (see LINK{pa_add.hlp})
49        * topology optimization (see LINK{pa_optimizer.hlp})

52NOTES           ARB_PARSIMONY is not designed to CREATE trees from scratch.
53                To do this you have to create a base tree containing at least 2 species
54                using some other program (e.g. LINK{dist.hlp}).
55
56WARNINGS        ARB_PARSIMONY works on the selected tree, it does instantly change the database.
