Good people -
I need some help to find a way to create an interactive cladogram or phylogenetic tree (yes, I have read all related posts, and do not find what I am looking for). The thing is, I need the nodes to be name-able. An example would be something like this
Most scripts I find are either applets, flash, or simply do not show the node classification, ie it would skip "feliformia" in this example. This is useless to me, as I would then end up with carnivore - anonymous node - anonymous node - anonymous node - tiger, and that is not good.
This tree will in theory cover all life, so it could get rather large, and get links and names in english and latin from database.
So: no flash, no applets. It must be horizontal, no supertrees (circular).
I have gone through this http://bioinfo.unice.fr/biodiv/Tree_editors.html
but most of them seems to be either old, not displaying sub-node levels, applets, or way too complex.
I imagine this would be a delightful job for canvas/jQuery..? And chances are, someone got there before me?
Any pointers much appreciated.
Note: if anyone out there would like to do something like this as a project, I will be happy to help, even though it would not benefit me for this project.This type of taxonomy is not as simple as it may seem, and I would be happy see this happen.
