Input Methods

You can either directly fill the text area with your data, or you can choose the file upload method (not supported by some browsers), where you just put the name of a local file in the corresponding field. In the latter case data in the text area is completely ignored.

Input can contain distances (as lower triangle of a symmetric matrix with optional diagonal) or alternatively data in Nexus format
